No-Penalty CD FAQs

What is a No-Penalty CD?

A no-penalty CD usually doesn't have a penalty if you withdraw the funds before the term ends. Early withdrawal isn't permitted within the first week of funding or opening a no-penalty CD, but after that a penalty-free withdrawal is possible.

No-penalty CDs may be a good fit for people who aren't sure when they'll need access to their money, but still want to earn a possible higher APY.

Are CDs Safe?

CDs are safe if they are either at a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) bank or at a National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) credit union and within insurance guidelines and limits.

Both FDIC and NCUA accounts are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Advantages of No-Penalty CDs

• Peace of mind: You generally don't have to worry about incurring early withdrawal penalties with no-penalty CDs. Usually, withdrawing during the first week is the only time you'll face a fee.
• Possible higher APY than a savings account: Some no-penalty CDs may carry a higher yield than a savings account.
• A fixed APY: Savings accounts usually have a variable APY, while CDs offer fixed rates for the duration of the term.
• Flexibility: Should yields rise, you are able to close a no-penalty CD and put your money into a higher rate savings account or CD.

Disadvantages of No-Penalty CDs

• They might have lower APYs than other CDs: You may be sacrificing a higher APY with a no-penalty CD. CDs that have a penalty for early withdrawals tend to offer higher yields.
• Savings accounts may have higher APYs: Some savings accounts may have comparable or higher APYs than a no-penalty CD.
• They might not have long terms: No-penalty CDs tend to have short terms, usually between six months and 14 months. Terms may be longer or shorter than that range.
• You might not be able to make a partial withdrawal from a no-penalty CD. The bank may require you to take out the entire balance and close the CD, if you wish to withdraw money early.
  

NB: Annual percentage yields (APYs) shown are as of Jan. 20, 2022.
