Certificate Accounts and Bump Certificates
Certificate accounts pay a higher rate of interest
- Higher interest rate paid
- Money stays in the account for a specific amount of time before accessing
- Early withdrawal penalties apply*
* APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates, terms, and fees are subject to change. APY is accurate as of 11/01/2022, the last dividend declaration date. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. Fees may reduce earnings. The minimum balance to open the certificate is stated in the chart.
Early withdrawal penalties apply (a penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity):
- If your account has an original maturity (term) of less than 12-months: The penalty will equal 90 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
- If your account has an original maturity (term) of 12-months or more – up to, but less than 36-months: The penalty will equal 180 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
- If your account has an original maturity of 36-months or more – up to, but less than 48-months: The penalty will equal 365 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
- If your account has an original maturity of 48-months or greater: The penalty will equal 540 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
In certain circumstances such as the death or incompetence of an owner of this account, the law permits, or in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. For any account which earns an interest rate that may vary during the term such as a bump certificate, the interest rate we will use to calculate this early withdrawal penalty will be the interest rate in effect at the time of the withdrawal. You may make withdrawals of principal from your account before maturity. In making such withdrawals, your balance may not fall below the minimum or we will close your account. Principal withdrawn before maturity is included in the amount subject to early withdrawal penalty. You can withdraw interest only on the crediting dates without penalty.
A $500 minimum deposit is required for consumer, IRA, and business certificates. Early withdrawal penalties may apply and may reduce earnings. Certificate rate is for a limited time only and could end at any time. Stated rate as of the first day of the month.
Grow your money with Gesa Bump Certificates
Bump Certificates offer you the flexibility to maximize savings. If rates increase, you can “bump up” your certificate to the current rate once during the term.
- We offer a variety of term options to best support your savings goals
- Access a one-time rate increase during the term of your Certificate
- Deposits insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration - an agency of the Federal Government
To learn more about Bump Certificates, call us at (888) 946-4372 or stop by a branch near you.
* APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates, terms, and fees are subject to change. APY is accurate as of 01/01/2023, the last dividend declaration date. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. Fees may reduce earnings. The minimum balance to open the certificate is stated in the chart.
The Certificate owner must contact Gesa Credit Union to request the one-time rate increase on Bump Certificate accounts. The rate on the Bump Certificate will be changed on the following business day of the date Gesa Credit Union receives the request. The bump option can only be exercised once during the term of the Certificate and does not increase the term of the certificate. The new interest will not be applied retroactively. The new interest rate will be the interest rate we are then offering on regular certificates (non- bump rate certificates) that have the same term and minimum balance. Bump Certificates are only available for consumer and IRA Certificates. Early withdrawal penalties will apply. Minimum deposit balance must be maintained to earn APY and fees may reduce earnings on the account. Special offer for a limited time only.
