Michigan One CCU Raises Rate On 12-Month Special CD

Michigan One Community Credit Union (M1) began the month by promoting its series of Special CDs, of which the 12-month (1.50% APY) and 48-month (2.02% APY) are the most competitive. The minimum opening deposit for any of Special CDs is $10k, with no stated balance cap.

The 12-month Special CD has been part of M1’s product line for more than three years, and last week’s 40 bps increase resulted in its highest APY ever. The 48-month Special CD is the newest of the Special CDs, having been introduced just five months ago.

As stated in M1’s Truth In Savings Account Disclosure, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:

If you make a withdrawal from a Certificate of Deposit prior to maturity, or more than 10 calendar days after maturity, we will assess an early withdrawal penalty equal to 180 days interest, or $50, whichever is greater. You will also forfeit accrued interest on the amount withdrawn.

While many credit unions claim to come from humble beginnings, M1CCU’s first home was truly lowly: the basement in the Credit Union Manager’s home. Originally established in 1954 as Ionia Public Employees Credit Union, M1CCU’s FOM wasn’t changed to a community charter until 2005, at which time its present name was adopted. Michigan One Community Credit Union currently has more than 15,300 members and assets in excess of $104 million.
