UniBank (MA/CT/RI) Offers 14-Month CD Special, 3.00% APY
Massachusetts-based UniBank for Savings (UniBank) is currently offering a 14-month CD Special, which earn 3.00% APY. The minimum opening deposit is only $500, and the maximum is capped at $1 million. There is also a limit of “one 14-month CD account per customer holding the position of primary account holder.”
In December, I wrote about two CD Specials at UniBank that had new rates: 8-month (2.75% APY) and 6-month (2.50% APY). Both CD Specials are still available, but require a higher $2.5k minimum deposit.
CSR stated that the Early Withdrawal Penalty (EWP) for the 14-month CD Special is six months of dividends, with partial withdrawals permitted. The 8-month CD Special has an EWP of three months of dividends.

Opening a CD Special can be opened online, or at any of the 14 Massachusetts branches, located in Blackstone, East Douglas, Hopkinton, Milford, North Grafton, Shrewsbury, Sutton (2), Upton, Uxbridge, Whitinsville (2), and Worcester.
