    CD Maturity & Renewals

    At maturity, your CD automatically renews for the same term at the current rate unless you choose a different option.

    CD Grace Period

    You have ten (10) calendar days after maturity to make changes without an early withdrawal penalty. During this time, you may:

    • Withdraw funds

    • Renew for a different term

    • Add funds (if eligible)

    • Close the CD

    After the grace period, the CD continues under its renewed terms and penalties may apply. For full details, review the Truth in Savings Disclosure.
