What is a NASB certificate of deposit?
A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a type of savings account with a fixed interest rate and fixed date of withdrawal, known as the maturity date. If you have savings that you won’t need to access for a while, an FDIC-insured certificate of deposit might be an ideal savings plan. Interest is compounded daily, and generally, the longer your term length, the higher the interest rate, and the more money you'll earn. Choose from either a traditional CD or a Fixed Rate IRA CD.

Can I add money to my certificate of deposit?
No, you cannot make deposits into your account until the maturity date.
Is there a minimum balance to open a certificate of deposit?
Yes, however this amount can vary and is subject to change. Currently, the minimum balance required to open a certificate of deposit is $1,000. The minimum balanced to open a fixed rate IRA CD is $100.
How can I get the best CD rate?
Typically, the longer the term of the CD, the higher the rates. You can view our CD rates here, and for any questions, please contact customer service at 1-800-677-6272.
How is the interest calculated on my CD?
NASB uses the daily balance method to calculate interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
What do I have to do if I want to renew my CD?
Your NASB certificate of deposit account will automatically renew at maturity. You will have seven calendar days after the maturity date to withdraw funds without penalty. The interest rate will be the same as offered on new accounts on the maturity date with the same or similar term and minimum balance requirements as your renewed certificate.
