Legacy Community Federal Credit Union 13-Month CD Earns 2.50% APY
Legacy Community Federal Credit Union (Legacy) is currently offering very competitive rates on its 13-month CD (2.50% APY) and 25-month CD (2.75% APY). Either CD can be opened with a $500 minimum deposit and there is no stated balance cap.
Both CDs are also offered as IRAs (Traditional), earning the same APYs with the same funding requirements.
As stated on the Account Selection page of the online application, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for CD terms of 36-months or less is 90 days of dividends. According to CSR, partial withdrawals are permitted.
Funding can be done by ACH, wire, or check. Maturing funds can be distributed by cashier’s check or transferred into another Legacy account (checking, savings). There is a 7-day grace period before a CD automatically renews. (The 13-month renews as a 12-month CD and the 25-month renews as a 25-month CD.)
Unlimited beneficiaries (with Social Security numbers) can be named and will be assigned equal shares.
