Our Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are a special type of account
which earns a fixed rate of interest over the entire period of the
investment. The principal for the account is deposited when the
CD is established. The minimum deposit for a CD is $1,000 per certificate.
DCECU offers IRA certificates in the following term lengths:
- 12 month
- 24 month
- 36 month
- 48 month
Interest on CDs is accrued daily and compounded or
paid monthly. Invested principal, or interest earned, once compounded,
may not be withdrawn from CD accounts prior to the maturity of the
term. If an early withdrawal must be made, the entire balance must
be withdrawn and an early withdrawal penalty may be assessed. Early
withdrawal penalties include forfeiture of a set number of days
interest on the entire principal balance as determined by the term
length of the certificate as follows:
