The long-term CDs are also available as IRAs (Traditional, Roth), earning the same APYs with the same funding requirements.
According to CSR, partial withdrawals are not permitted and early closures are subject to the following penalties:
- 36-month term – three months of interest
- 48-month term – nine months of interest
