iGo has changed their terms for early withdraw for new accts and renewals:

Dear Valued CD Customer:

Effective July 10, 2012, our iGObanking.com® CD early withdrawal penalties and renewal rates for new accounts and renewals changed as follows:

Early withdrawal penalties (a penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity)

• If your account has an original maturity greater than five years: The fee we may impose will equal the loss of either all interest earned on the amount withdrawn or half the interest amount that would have been earned on the amount withdrawn during the entire term of the certificate, whichever is greater. Penalty may reduce principle.


I have a 10yr 3.5% cd with them. the early withdraw penalty is only 6months.
even with the 6month penalty, i come out ahead vs any CD out there at the time after 2yrs.

this change is
scary...

I can do better. I've attached a spreadsheet. Found this online about 2 years ago. I also fixed one small mathematical error.

Quick answer: You break even after 2 months (since it is a 2 month interest penalty). After 5 months you are earning over 1% interest AFTER penalty.

I'm having good luck with DCU. Certificate Special-Earn 1.50%**for 8 months.
It took a while to get the account set up and the Reps are nice & very helpful.
I have even opened up new CD's with this rate. If & when they drop the rate a person can just add money to the original CD.

I thought Pen Fed's 3 year 1.61% was too good to pass up, so I opened a sizable (to me) account. 5 days later, they up it to 1.75%. Not a huge difference, but still disappointed.

Looks like Penfed increased the rates again:

6 Month 0.75% 0.75%
1-Year 1.238% 1.25%
2-Year 1.583% 1.60%
3-Year 1.829% 1.85%
4-Year 1.830% 1.85%
5-Year 1.879% 1.90%
7-Year 1.980% 2.00%

Break it and open a new one!

It's now up to 1.85%. Is the early withdrawal penalty worth breaking it?

NOTE TO MODERATORS...

The rates in the Quick Summary are all wrong and appear to be taken from July 2012.

I may have clicked a wrong button when I tried to undo what the spammer did. I could not see what I did because it had to be approved by the mod. I'm not touching it again.

It looks like the Penfed product isn't actually a CD, but some kind of money market instrument that has 'government backed insurance' but FDIC is never mentioned.

It's just what they call a CD, no difference. Also they are a Credit Union and Credit Unions don't have FDIC, they have NCUA (National Credit Union Administration) works same way as FDIC

"This credit union is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration." FDIC is for banks, not credit unions.
