Partners Financial Has Limited-Time 9-Month CD Special, 3.00% APY
Now through May 31, 2019, Partners Financial Federal Credit Union (Partners Financial) has a 9-month Share Certificate Special earning 3.00% APY. The minimum opening deposit is $10k of new money, which is defined as funds not on deposit in an existing Partners Financial account. The fine print on the landing page states, “promotion may end early if limit is reached.” Given Partners Financial’s small size, it’s possible the deposit goal may be reached quickly for this limited-time offer.
Partners Financial’s Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) is structured differently than most EWPs. As stated in Truth In Savings disclosure, the EWP reads as follows:
After your account is opened you may make up two (2) withdrawals with a penalty. Amount of penalty is determined by the new balance of the certificate after the withdrawal.
We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the funds from your Share Certificate account before the maturity date.
- Certificates up to 1 year (deposits up to $9,999) – $100 penalty
- Certificates up to 1 year (deposits of $10,000 and up) – $250 penalty
Following the 10-day grace period, the 9-month Special will automatically renew as a 12-month Share Certificate at the then-current rate.
Thanks to DA reader, Carpline, for the Forum post on this limited-time special.

Founded in 1958 as the Richmond Federal Employees’ Federal Credit Union, Credit Union’s original FOM was limited to federal government employees who worked in Richmond, Virginia. In 1989, the name was shortened a bit – Richmond Federal Credit Union – as a series of mergers with a disparate group of Virginia credit unions began. Between 1990 and 2009, mergers with six small credit unions and a change to a community charter in 2009 helped to form Partners Financial Federal Credit Union.
