Certificates of deposit — term footnotes and principal risk
Conservation First Bank’s CD table links its three- and six-month CDs to a one-month-interest early-withdrawal penalty, its 12-month CD to three months of interest, and its listed 24-, 36-, 48-, and 60-month CDs to six months of interest. Each penalty footnote warns that the charge can invade principal. The certificates automatically renew for the same term at the bank’s new rate unless prior approval is given.
The table and footnote disagree on the 12-month CD’s interest-compounding frequency, so that detail must be confirmed rather than assumed. The page also restricts withdrawals until maturity while describing penalties, leaving actual early-withdrawal permission to confirm. Its APYs are dated February 3, 2026; the penalty’s month conversion, calculation balance, and applicability to older agreements are not fully established.
