Frequently Asked Questions

What is a certificate of deposit?

A Certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings account held over a specified time period or term. After you add money to your account, the term begins, and you start earning interest. By agreeing to leave your money in the CD for the full term, you benefit from fixed rates that are typically higher than a traditional savings account. Our CD terms last from 3 months to 5 years. 

What is the difference between a CD and a savings account? 

With CDs, you leave your savings untouched for a specific time period to earn at a fixed interest rate. Savings accounts allow you to regularly access your funds and require no commitment; however, they have lower interest rates than CDs and rates fluctuate. 

Are there any fees to open and maintain my account? 

Total Bank CD accounts are free to open and maintain without monthly service fees. For a list of miscellaneous Service Charges like wire transfers, please see our Disclosures & Schedule of Fees. 

Is there a penalty for early withdrawal from CD accounts?

The penalty depends on your term. A penalty is imposed for early withdrawal. Please see the Deposit Agreement for details. 

Any withdrawal prior to the maturity date is subject to penalty based on the term of the CD. All penalties are calculated based on a 12-month year of 360 days.

CDs purchased or renewed on or after MM/D/YR, the penalty depends on your term

Term Penalty

  • 30 days to 6 months 30 days of compounded interest earned

  • 6 months to 1 year 90 days of compounded interest earned

  • More than 1 year 180 days of compounded interest earned

What happens to my CD account after it matures? 

When your CD’s term ends you will have 10 calendar days to make changes to your account before it automatically renews. During this grace period you can:

  • Change the term 

  • Add additional funds3

  • Perform a partial withdrawal

  • Change the interest payment method

  • Close your CD.

If you do not contact us before the end of the 10-day grace period, your CD will automatically renew. The term will be the same as your original term and the rate may be adjusted to what we currently offer, as of the maturity date. The renewal term will begin on the day after the previous CD term’s end. A confirmation will be sent to you verifying the renewal terms. 

Can I add additional funds to a CD once it has been opened? 

No additional deposits are permitted after a client funds an account.
