Republic Bank’s Top CD Rates

Republic Bank has a top CD rate of 0.20% for 36-month and 60-month CD tiers. There is an option to make partial withdrawals throughout the term (with an applicable early withdrawal fee).

You can transfer interest earnings to checking and savings account help with Republic Bank as long as the minimum balance of $1,000 is maintained in the CD.

There is a 10-day period after the maturity of the term to withdraw funds or it automatically renews for the same rate as the previous term.

Interest can be compounded or you can transfer it to a different account. There are options available for the crediting of the interest dividends. Choose between monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual interest payout.

For maximum earnings compound interest earnings rather than withdraw them. Interest is compounded daily.

There are five available terms for CD’s through Republic Bank and there is a $1,000 minimum deposit for all terms. After the term is set and the deposit is made no additional deposits to the CD may be made.

Early withdrawal fees will equal either 5% of the current balance or the interest of seven days if you close the CD within seven days of opening it.
