More credit unions are offering competitive rates on certificates of deposit (CDs). Southeast Financial Credit Union has a CD rate of 2% annual percentage yield (APY) for a two-year term. Other CD rates include:

  • 1.4% APY for 6 months
  • 1.8% for 18 months
  • 2.2% for 30 months
  • 2.35% for 3 years
  • 2.55% for 4 years
  • 2.75% for 5 years

When money is withdrawn from a CD early there is a penalty fee of all dividends on the amount withdrawn or 30 days dividends for terms of six months or less. For terms of  more than six months the penalty is all dividends on the amount withdrawn or 60 days dividends on the withdrawn amount. The early withdrawal penalty can be waived in certain situations, such as the death of an account holder.
