United Texas Bank Boosts Nationally Available 12-Month CD Rate

POSTED ON BY

Availability: 12-month CD, 2.25% APY, $1k minimum.

Availability: Nationwide

Last week’s CD Rates Summary includes a competitive 1-year CD offered by United Texas Bank (UTB), a bank that hasn’t had any great rates for some time. With across-the-board CD rate increases of between 55 and 165 bps, the UTB 12-month CD (2.25% APY) offers the most competitive rate in the product line. Any UTB CD can be opened with a $1k minimum deposit and with no stated balance cap.

As stated on the Certificates of Deposit page, the Early Withdrawal Penalty reads as follows:

If your account has an original maturity of one year or less: The fee we may
impose will equal three months interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

It is not possible to withdraw any of the 12-month CD interest before maturity:

For terms of one year or less, interest will be compounded at maturity, and interest will be credited at maturity.

Funding and Accessing Maturing Funds

Funding a CD can be done by ACH, wire, or check. Maturing funds can be distribution by ACH (no dollar limit), wire, or cashier's check to the address on file. There is a ten calendar day grace period before a CD automatically renews.

Opening a CD can be done through UTB’s encrypted email service and by phone (972.239.7000). The UTB Online Account Opening application can be used to start the process of opening a CD.
