Commonly Asked Questions
-
A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a type of savings account that holds a fixed amount of money for a set period of time, called the term, and earns a guaranteed interest rate. CDs typically offer higher returns than traditional savings accounts in exchange for leaving your money untouched until the maturity date.
-
The minimum deposit varies depending on the term and type of CD, but most CDs at Elevations Credit Union require as little as $500 to get started. Certain promotional CDs or long-term options may have different minimums, so be sure to check the specific terms.
-
Yes. All Elevations CDs are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to the applicable limits. This ensures your savings are protected while they grow.
-
You can, but early withdrawals typically come with a penalty. Since CDs are designed for fixed-term savings, withdrawing funds before the maturity date may result in forfeited interest. Be sure to review your CD terms before opening to understand the early withdrawal conditions.
-
