Truity Credit Union Adds 24-Month Bump CD

You may take advantage of a one-time bump option at the 5-year rate.

The Bump Share Certificate is also offered as an IRA (Traditional), earning the same APY with the same funding requirements.

As stated on the Rates page, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:

Early withdrawal on certificates 91 days through 24 months will result in a
penalty equal to 90 days dividend, at the certificate rate, on the amount withdrawn.

$100 Checking Bonus

Now through September 30, 2017, Truity CU is offering a $100 bonus when opening a new checking account. There are no special requirements to earn the bonus. The only restriction is,

If your household already has a Truity checking account, you do not qualify.

Truity Credit Union is currently is the fifth largest credit union headquartered in Oklahoma, with more than 68,100 members and assets in excess of $784 million. The Credit Union was established in 1939 by the Jane Phillips Sorority in Bartlesville, and became known as the 66 Federal Credit Union.

Mildred Hunt was the first treasurer and she conducted credit union business at her desk in the pipeline department at Phillips Petroleum Company during her lunch break and after hours. At that time a single quarter opened a savings account which allowed members to obtain unsecured loans up to $50.

The Truity re-brand occurred in 2013 to help convey that Phillips Petroleum Company and ConocoPhillips were not the only two employee groups served by the Credit Union, and “help position the Credit Union for future growth and financial strength.” In case you were wondering, “Truity” represents a combination of trust and integrity.
