Houston Federal Credit Union Adds 30-Month CD, Up To 3.12% APY

POSTED ON BY

Deal Summary: 30-month "For The Cure" CD, 3.12% APY ($100k), 3.00% APY ($5k), new money.

Availability: Residents of Houston, Texas and nearby communities; employees of 350+ Business Partner companies.

Now through October 31, 2019, Houston Federal Credit Union (HFCU) is offering a 30-month "For The Cure" CD with tiered APYs – 3.12% APY ($100k) and 3.00% APY ($5k). New money is required and is defined as “funds from another institution.”

For a limited time, for each dollar invested in a “For The Cure!” Certificate Account between October 1 and October 31, 2019 HFCU will donate 1% up to a maximum of $3,000.00 on the aggregate balance of the “For The Cure!” Certificate Accounts.

My original intent in writing this blog post was to discuss HFCU’s >60-month CD, which earns 3.12% APY ($100k) and 3.05% APY ($500). The >60-month CD is also available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth, CESA), earning the higher 3.12% APY, but with the lower $500 minimum deposit.

The “greater than” symbol in the CD’s name is a bit deceiving: you can open it as a 60-month CD. HFCU CDs have staggered, flexible terms, e.g., a 48- <60-months CD can have a term-length of anywhere between 48 months and a day short of 60 months.

According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) for any HFCU CD is 90 days of interest. Unfortunately, partial withdrawals are not permitted, only early closures.
