Competitive Long-Term CD Rates in Ohio at Wayne Savings - Local Only
Wayne Savings Community Bank just increased the rates on its long-term CDs and IRA CDs. The new rates are now quite competitive. These include a 3.00% APY 10-year CD and a 2.00% APY 6- and 7-year CD. Minimum deposit is $500. These rates are listed in the bank's rate schedule as of 3/22/2012. Below the rate table, it states "APY/Interest Rates are current through March 27, 2012".
Under the rate table, several CD details are provided. The early withdrawal penalties for the long-term CDs are described as "(2) six months interest if the account term is greater than one year, (3) 1 year interest if the account term is the 6 year CD Special." Unfortunately, the following transaction limitation is listed: "After the account is open, deposits and withdrawals to the principal are not permitted until the maturity date." I don't know why banks include this transaction limitation when they list early withdrawal penalties. I have to conclude that the bank could use this limitation to refuse an early withdrawal request.
It appears that a branch visit is required to open a CD. They do have a toll-free number (1-800-414-1103). If you learn of any new details, please leave a comment.
