NavyArmy Community Credit Union (TX) Jumbo CDs Remain Competitive

About a year ago, I wrote about the competitive 1-year Jumbo CD offered by NavyArmy Community Credit Union (NavyArmy). While NavyArmy has been offering Jumbo CDs for only about 18 months, the 1-, 2-, and 3-year Jumbo CDs have maintained competitive rates throughout that time frame, as the majority of CD rates dropped. The non-Jumbo CDs have been part of the product line for more than 11 years and earn APYs a uniform 10 bps lower.

The 1-year and 2-year CDs are also offered as IRA CDs (Traditional, Roth, CESA), earning the same APYs with the same deposit requirements.

As stated in NavyArmy’s Member Account Agreement, the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) for 1-year and 2-year Jumbo CDs reads as follows:

The penalty we may impose will equal 180 days interest whether earned or not.

The EWP for the 3-year Jumbo is substantially higher:

The penalty we may impose will equal 365 days interest whether earned or not.

Funding a CD can be done by ACH, wire transfer, or check. There is a seven-day grace period before a CD automatically renews. If you opt not to renew the CD, “your funds will be placed in a dividend-bearing account, unless otherwise specified.”
