    Why would I open a CD from Rivermark?

    Rivermark CDs are incredibly popular because we can offer you something market investments can’t: guaranteed returns on your money*. Certificates of Deposit feature fixed rates and fixed terms – so your rate and your earnings don't fluctuate with market conditions.

    A few more reasons why our members choose to open CDs (and transfer funds from other banks and credit unions to a Rivermark CD):

    • Safe, secure savings mean your cash works harder and smarter
    • Choose a term that works for you
    • Big balances are not required – open a CD with as little as $500
    • No monthly fees, ever
    • Relax, knowing your funds are federally insured by the NCUA, the FDIC’s government counterpart that insures not-for-profit credit unions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Your earnings can be mailed as a check, deposited into a Rivermark checking, savings or money market account. Or maximize the return by reinvesting the earnings in your CD.

    • You can withdraw it, but you'll pay a penalty rate equal to up to 270 days interest depending on the term of your CD

    • Yes, deposits can now be made to all Certificates of Deposit (CDs) at any time, except for promotional CDs. Additional deposits to promotional CDs are not allowed.

    • One way to maximize your interest income is with a strategy called CD laddering. Over time, it's an easy way to earn a higher rate without locking up all your money into a single long-term certificate.

      For example, instead of opening one 3-year CD for $15,000, you would divide your initial deposit into three equal CD's.

      1. Open one CD for $5,000 with a 3-year term
      2. Open a second CD for $5,000 with a 2-year term
      3. Open a third CD for $5,000 with a 1-year term

      When your 1-year CD matures, you would roll that $5,000 into a new 3-year certificate. After three years, all of your certificates will be earning the higher three-year rate of interest at that time and you'll always have access to $5,000 of your money within one year.
