Frequently Asked Questions

What’s a certificate of deposit?

A certificate of deposit, also known as a CD, is a type of savings account that holds a specific amount of money for a fixed amount of time. In return, we pay you dividends.

How safe are certificates?

Certificates are very safe. Your funds are federally insured up to $250,000, and with a fixed rate, you’ll know exactly how much you’ll earn. Just keep your money in for the agreed-upon term, then sit back, relax, and watch your money grow.

How does a certificate account work?

When you deposit money into a certificate, it remains there for the agreed-upon term. During this time, the dividends are deposited into the account once a month. At the end of the term, you can withdraw the initial deposit along with the earned dividends, or the funds can be rolled into another certificate.

Is there a minimum to open a certificate at Arkansas Federal?

Yes, at Arkansas Federal, the minimum deposit to open a certificate is $1,000.

Can I take out the money from my certificate before the term ends?

While it is possible to withdraw money from your certificate before the term ends, there is an early withdrawal fee, which could result in the loss of some of the dividends earned.

What happens when my certificate matures?

When your certificate matures, you’ll have the option to withdraw funds, renew the certificate at the rate/term you select, or transfer the funds out. If you do not specify your preference within 10 business days of your certificate maturing, Arkansas Federal will automatically roll over your funds into another certificate at the floor rate.
