In February, North Carolina-based Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU) brought back its competitive long-term Jumbo CDs ($100k min) after a long absence. In March, LCCU added a $200k minimum rate tier to the Jumbo CDs; at that time, the $200k minimum rates earned a uniform 25 bps higher than the $100k minimum rates.

About a week ago, LCCU substantially raised the rates on both the $200k and $100k rate tiers, adding between 45-60 bps. A more modest rate increase (5-30 bps) occurred over the weekend, but only for the $200k Jumbo CDs.

Interest on the Jumbo CD accrues daily, but is NOT compounded. As stated in the Rules and Regulations Brochure,

For 6- and 12-month STCs, you may choose to have the interest earned paid to the STC or to another account at LCCU. Interest earned for all other STCs must be paid to another account at LCCU.

LCCU does not permit partial withdrawals, only early closures. As stated in the fine print on Certificates of Deposit page, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:

Certificates of 6, 12, or 18 months cancelled early are charged a penalty
of 90 days of interest or all interest accrued or earned, whichever is less.

Certificates of 24 months or more cancelled early are charged a penalty
of 180 days of interest or all interest accrued or earned, whichever is less.

Funding a Jumbo CD can be done by ACH or wire transfer. Unfortunately, LCCU does not participate in the CO-OP Shared Branch network. Maturing funds can be distributed by cashier’s check to the address on file, by wire, or transferred to an LCCU savings/checking account. There is a 7-day grace period before automatic renewal.
