POSTED ON BY

Deal Summary: 17-Month Online Savings CD, 3.00% APY, $1.5k minimum deposit, unlimited additional deposits ($25 minimum).

Availability: Easy membership requirement for Texas residents.

Following a 60 bps rate increase this week, the Neighborhood Credit Union (Neighborhood CU) 17-month Online Savings CD now earns 3.00% APY. The minimum opening deposit is $1.5k, with no stated balance cap.

In addition to offering a competitive rate, the 17-month Online Savings CD is also an add-on CD: unlimited additional deposits (minimum of $25) are allowed throughout the term.

As stated in the Truth-In-Savings document,

For Online Savings Certificate of Deposit accounts, all transactions are processed online or electronically only and not in the branch. Unlimited deposits are allowed via ACH or via online banking using online transfer from any account with funds availability.

The Early Withdrawal Penalty is also available in the Truth-In-Savings document and reads as follows:

For Online Savings Certificate of Deposit accounts, the amount of the early withdrawal penalty for your account is 180 days’ interest.

Funding an Online Savings CD can be done by ACH or internal transfer. Neighborhood CU participates in the CO-OP Shared Branch network, making the transfer of funds relatively simple. Maturing funds can be distributed by cashier’s check to the address on file, ACH, or transferred to a Neighborhood CU savings account. There is a ten day grace period before an Online Savings CD will automatically renew.

Adding beneficiaries can be done after an Online Savings CD is opened, using Neighborhood CU’s Online Banking platform. There’s even a one-minute video explaining how to add a beneficiary online. Name, DOB, and Social Security number are required for each designated beneficiary.
