State Bank (OH/IN) Adds 48-Month CD
Earlier this month, State Bank introduced two new CDs: 48-month (3.00% APY) and 18-month (2.25% APY). Either CD can be opened with a $1k minimum deposit, with no stated balance cap. No matter the size of the opening deposit, 50% of the funds must be money that is new to State Bank.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) is structured a bit differently, with the determining factor being when funds are withdrawn. If more than 12 months remain until the CD matures, the EWP is six months of interest; if less than 12 months remain until maturity, the EWP drops to three months of interest.
