Short-Term CDs. Short term savings certificates, usually up to 3 months, offer you the fastest, readiest access to your money.

• 90 Day Certificate of Deposit – The interest rate on this account is fixed. You will be paid this interest rate until first maturity. Interest will be compounded daily and credited to your account every quarter. You must maintain a minimum balance of $1,000.00 to obtain the disclosed APY. We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest in your account. This method applies a daily rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items. You may not make any deposits into your account before maturity. You may make withdrawals of principal from your account before maturity. Principal withdrawn before maturity is included in the amount subject to early withdrawal penalty. You can only withdraw interest credited to your account before maturity of that term without penalty. The early withdrawal penalty will equal three months interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty. In certain circumstances the law permits or in some cases requires the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. The APY assumes interest will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. This account will automatically renew at maturity. You may prevent renewal if we receive written notice from you before maturity of your intention not to renew or you withdraw funds in the account at maturity or within the grace period. If you prevent renewal, interest will continue to accrue after final maturity for up to seven calendar days. The interest rate will be at the renewed rate. Each renewal term will be the same as the original term beginning on the maturity date. The interest rate will be the same we offer on new time deposits on the maturity date which have the same term, minimum balance and other features as the original time deposit. You will have seven calendar days after maturity to withdraw the funds without penalty.
