HRCU (NH) 30-Month CD Special Now Earns 3.51% APY
HRCU (formerly known as Holy Rosary Credit Union) has raised the rate on its 30-month CD Special to 3.51% APY. The minimum deposit is $500, with no stated balance cap.
The CD Special is available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth, CESA, and SEP), earning the same APY with the same funding requirements.
The 30-month CD Special was added to the product line in March 2017, with an initial 1.65% APY. In the beginning of 2018, the rate dropped to 1.00% APY, where it remained until 200 bps were added in September. Last week’s 51 bps increase has given the 30-month CD Special its highest rate ever.
As stated in the Truth-in-Savings document (part of the online application), the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:
If your account has an original maturity of more than one year, the penalty we will impose is the lesser of 180 days dividends earned from the date of deposit on the amount withdrawn or all dividends earned from the date of deposit on the amount withdrawn.
Excess Share Insurance
Deposits at HRCU are fully insured up to $500,000: at least $250,000 by the NCUA and $250,000 by Excess Share Insurance, the nation’s largest provider of excess share insurance since 1993.
Members of credit unions using ESI’s excess share insurance can take great comfort in knowing that their savings are safe, and that a portion of their deposits are protected by a well-capitalized credit union-only private insurer.
