Kellogg Community Credit Union (MI) Adds 14-Month CD, 2.30% APY
In celebration of the grand opening of its newest branch in the Metro Health Village, Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) is offering a 14-month CD Special, which earns 2.30% APY. This limited-time offer requires a $500 minimum opening deposit, with no stated balance cap.
The 14-month CD Special is also available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth, CESA), earning the same APY with the same funding requirements.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for the 14-month CD Special is 90 days interest.
eChecking and Kasasa Cash
KCCU continues to be the only credit union I am aware of that offers two separate rewards checking accounts.
KCCU introduced its eChecking account in 2015 and its initial 4.00% APY on qualifying balances up to $15k is still in effect. The monthly qualifying requirements are,
- Minimum of $500 in direct deposit(s)
- Minimum of four online banking logins
- Minimum of 20 debit card transactions
- Receive eStatements
- Enroll in bill pay
KCCU began offering Kasasa products in December 2017. The Kasasa Cash account earns a higher APY (4.25%), but has a much lower balance cap of $7.5k. The Kasasa Cash qualifying requirements are quite similar to that of the eChecking account.
- Minimum of $500 in direct deposit(s)
- Minimum of one online banking logins
- Minimum of 12 debit card transactions
- Receive eStatements
- Maintain a valid e-mail address
