Financial One Credit Union Offers 58-Month CD Special, 3.45% APY
Financial One Credit Union (Financial One) is currently offering a 58-month CD Special earning a competitive 3.45% APY. The minimum deposit is $1k, with no stated balance cap. This “limited-time” offer has been available since the beginning of the year. When asked about how long it might be available, CSR said that no end-date had been set.
The 58-month CD Special is also available as an IRA (Traditional and Roth), earning the same APY with the same funding requirements.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) is a substantial "half of the interest that would be earned over the life of the CD, no matter when the withdrawal is made." Partial withdrawals are not allowed – only early closures. There is no limit on the number of 58-month CD Specials that can be opened by a member, which could be helpful. If you’re concerned with the onerous EWP should you need to access a portion of your funds, opening ten CD Specials ($10k each) rather than one CD Special ($100k) might be a handy solution.
