DayMet Credit Union (OH) Boosts 18-Month CD Rate To New Heights
DayMet Credit Union (DayMet) recently boosted the rates of its 18-month CD to 4.50% APY, which is the most competitive rate in the DayMet CD product line by far. The 18-month CD can be opened with a $1k minimum deposit; there is no stated balance cap.
The 18-month CD is also available as an IRA CD (Traditional and Roth), earning the same APY with the same deposit requirements.
As stated in the Truth-in-Savings disclosure, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:
We will impose a penalty if You withdraw any funds before the maturity date. For Accounts with a term to maturity less than 12 months, the penalty imposed will equal 90 days' dividends. For Accounts with a term to maturity equal to or greater than 12 months, the penalty imposed will equal 180 days' dividends.
Funding and Other Particulars
- Funding – ACH, wire ($25 fee), check, or internal transfer.
- Maturing Funds – cashier’s check to the address on file, wire ($25 fee), or transferred into a Day-Met checking or savings account.
- Dividends – compound and are credited monthly; earned dividends can be withdrawn once credited without penalty.
- Grace Period – 10 calendar days before automatic renewal.
- Beneficiaries – unlimited, percentages, Social Security numbers required.
American Share Insurance
DayMet Credit Union is not federally insured nor insured by any state government, but is instead insured by American Share Insurance (ASI), a provider of private share insurance for credit unions and the Excess Share Insurance Corporation, with accounts insured up to $500,000.
As stated on at the bottom of every page of DayMet’s website,
American Share Insurance insures each account up to $250,000. Excess Share Insurance Corporation provides up to an additional $250,000 of insurance per account. This institution is not federally insured.
MEMBERS’ ACCOUNTS ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY GOVERNMENT OR GOVERNMENT SPONSORED AGENCY
For those not familiar with ASI, here are a few facts to help you decide if you’re comfortable with an ASI insured credit union:
- ASI is the nation’s largest provider of private share insurance for credit unions.
- ASI has been insuring credit unions since 1974.
- Only ten states permit credit unions to be privately insured (Alabama, California, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Wyoming).
- Privately insured credit unions are legitimate credit unions that are regulated by their home state.
- ASI-only insured credit union liquidations have been rare, with only three occurring between 2009 and 2014: Cumorah Credit Union, Nevada (2009); USA One National Credit Union, Illinois (2012); and Bensenville Community Credit Union, Illinois (2014).
The above facts are intended as neither an endorsement of or an objection to ASI or ASI insured credit unions.
