Certificate of Deposit

Save with Certificates of Deposit (CDs) through DeMotte State Bank. If you are able to commit funds for a specified period of time, you can enjoy competitive interest rates, variety of terms and interest payment options with FDIC insured savings.

A DeMotte State Bank certificate of deposit will let you take charge of your future.

Certificates may be issued with a single maturity or automatic renewal.  The single maturity will not automatically renew and interest will not accrue after maturity.  For accounts that automatically renew, each renewal term will be the same as the original. Interest earned each renewal term will be determined by us on or just before the renewal date. If you do not want the certificate of deposit to automatically renew, you must notify us within ten days of the maturity date to redeem without penalty.

DeMotte State Bank also offers some unique certificates to give you more options for your money. You also get to choose how long you want to invest. We have CDs with terms up to 60 months at very competitive rates. Special rates and terms are quoted for amounts of $100,000 or more.

Your payment options are:

  • interest is applied to your account balance each quarter
  • interest by a check
  • direct deposit to your DeMotte State Bank checking or savings account.

Open your Certificate of Deposit with DeMotte State Bank today. All CDs require a minimum deposit. Your CD can be established as either a single or a joint CD. Joint CDs can have rights of survivorship. See CD terms and agreement for details.

As with any CD, there is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal. Early withdrawal penalties may reduce the face amount of the Certificate of Deposit.

Note: The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity and that a withdrawal of interest will reduce earnings. Annual Percentage Yields are subject to change without notice. Fees may reduce earnings.

Rates are posted for your convenience in making financial decisions. Realize they are subject to change. Check out our rates on the internet or speak with a New Accounts Representative.
