Terms of 48 months or less 90 days' dividends.

With such a mild EWP, closing a 48-month Savings Certificate early actually results in competitive APYs. DA’s Early Withdrawal Penalty Calculator shows the effective yields (on a month-by-month basis) for the 48-month Savings Certificate. For example,
