MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Adds 18-Month CD Special - Not Available
A year ago, MIDFLORIDA Credit Union (MIDFLORIDA) offered 3.00% APY on a 5-year CD in celebration of the Credit Union’s assets reaching $3 billion. The 3.00% APY is available again, but this time it’s attached to an 18-month CD Special that should provide “many happy returns.” This limited time offer requires a $10k minimum opening deposit and carries a “$2 million maximum per Social Security number.”
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for the 18-month CD Special is 9 months of dividends. No partial withdrawals are allowed on this CD Special, only early closures.

For 43 years, the Credit Union’s membership was limited to educational employees, but in 1997 the charter was changed to a residency-based field of membership. The next 15 years saw two name changes, two mergers, another charter change, and expansion into several counties. Following the July 2017 merger with Martin Federal Credit Union, MIDFLORIDA Credit Union has become Florida’s fourth largest credit union, with nearly 306,000 members and assets in excess of $3.5 billion.
