FAQs about Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

No, none of the Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union savings and CD accounts have an annual or monthly fee. We want to give your money the best chance to grow!

You can open a Certificate of Deposit account with just $250.

Withdrawals aren’t generally allowed. We want to help you achieve your savings goals as quickly as possible, so there’s a penalty if you make a withdrawal before your CD comes to term.

The rates you get will depend on which term you choose. The longer your term, the higher your annual percentage yield (APY) and dividend rate.

The dividends you earn on your certificate of deposit balance are compounded each month, which means you earn a dividend on your balance and you earn interest on the dividends, too. In this way, you earn more than simple interest on your initial deposit.

Your dividends will be compounded and credited to your account every month.
