Financial Plus CU (MI) Offers 2 Competitive CD Specials
Earlier this week, Financial Plus Credit Union (Financial Plus) added two Share Certificate (CD) Specials to its product line: 15-month Share Certificate Special (1.30% APY) and 29-month Share Certificate Special (1.77% APY).
Both CD Specials require a minimum opening deposit of $1K new money, with a balance cap of $100K.
The 15-month CD Special requires a Financial Plus checking relationship, with at least one monthly payroll direct deposit. This offering is valid through February 8, 2016.
The 29-month CD Special does not require a checking relationship, and is also available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth, and CESA) at the same AYP, with the same funding requirements. This offering expires on December 4, 2015.
As stated in Financial Plus’ Truth In Savings document, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:
If an early withdrawal reduces the principal balance below the original certificate amount or below the certificate amount of a subsequent renewal, the certificate will be canceled, and a forfeiture will be imposed equal to the value of ninety (90) days dividends on the entire amount evidenced by the certificate if the current term is one year or less, or the value of one hundred eighty (180) days dividends on that amount if the current term is more than one year.
