Hanover Bank Substantially Raises 18-Month CD Rate
While New York-based Hanover Bank has substantially raised all its CD rates (adding between 50 and 124 bps), only the 18-month CD (2.15% APY) offers a truly competitive rate. The 18-month CD can be opened with $500 minimum deposit, with no stated balance cap.
The 18-month CD is also available as an IRA CD (Traditional, Roth), earning the same APY with the same funding requirements.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for any of the CDs is 1% of the amount withdrawn, with partial withdrawals allowed.
