Marshall Community Credit Union Adds 16-Month CD, Up To 2.95% APY
Two months ago, Marshall Community Credit Union (MCCU) was promoting a 15-month CD Special, with 16 different APYs ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% APY. While that promotion is no longer available, MCCU is currently offering a 16-month CD Special, with 16 APYs ranging between 2.15% and 2.95%. The APYs are based on a combination of four deposit levels ($1k, $25k, $50k, $125k) and four Member Rewards Program levels (Valued, Loyal, Advantage, Premier).
The 16-month CD Special is also available as an IRA (Traditional, Roth), earning the same tiered APYs with the same requirements.
The Early Withdrawal Penalty for CDs with terms between 12-24 months is 180 days of dividends.
Monthly interest can be compounded to the certificate, credited to an MCCU checking/savings account, or paid out in a check.
There is a ten day grace period before the 16-month CD Special renews as a 12-month CD.
Member Rewards Program
Each Member Rewards Program level has a unique requirement that needs to be met, none of which are particularly burdensome.
- Valued Member – all MCCU members
- Loyal Member – up to $20k in loan balances or deposit balances of $20k-$49,999
- Advantage Member – $20k+ in loan balances or deposit balances of $50k+
- Premier Member – Active checking account (12 or more monthly transactions)
Kasasa Cash Checking
MCCU Kasasa Cash checking account has been earning 3.75% APY on qualifying balances up to $15k for almost two years. More detail about the Kasasa Cash checking account can be found in a February 2015 blog post.

MCCU’s Mini-Grant Program is available for teachers, administrators and school staff at any of their partner schools (those that participate in the credit union’s “CU In School” program, an in-school, student-run credit union branch).
