Kellogg Community Credit Union Has 29-Month CD Special

Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) is hoping you’ll “feel the warmth” with the “hot” rates being offered on its Winter CD Specials: 29-month (3.15% APY), 19-month (3.00% APY), and 9-month (2.50% APY). Of the three, the 29- and 19-month CD Specials offer the more competitive rates. These limited-time specials require a $500 minimum opening deposit, with no stated balance cap.

The CD Specials are also available as IRAs (Traditional, Roth, CESA), earning the same APYs with the same funding requirements.

According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for the 9-month CD Special is 90 days interest, and 180 days interest for the 19- and 29-month CD Specials.

eChecking and Kasasa Cash

KCCU is the only credit union I can think of that offers two separate rewards checking accounts.

In 2015, KCCU introduced its eChecking account, which still earns 4.00% APY on qualifying balances up to $15k. The monthly qualifying requirements are,

• Minimum of $500 in Direct Deposits
• Minimum of four online banking logins
• Minimum of 20 debit card transactions
• Receive eStatements
• Enroll in bill pay

KCCU added the Kasasa brand to its product line last December, with the Kasasa Cash account earning a higher 4.25% APY, but with 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 Deposits
• Minimum of one online banking logins
• Minimum of 12 debit card transactions
• Receive eStatements
• Maintain a valid e-mail address
