STCU Bank and Trust’s Top CD Rates

The top CD rate at STCU is 1.00% for a 5-year certificate with a minimum balance of $2,000.

CD rates at STCU for 24 and 36-month terms have an APY of up to 0.65%. You have the option to choose your own term between 1-month and 5-years.

You can make further deposits to most CD’s monthly to accelerate the interest-earning potential of the CD. They allow you to bump your APY rate up every 18-months with an STCU “bump-rate certificate” with a qualifying minimum deposit.

Special certificates have some of the highest APY rates at the credit union, but require higher deposits (starting at $2,000) to receive the top rates. The best CD rate is for premium 30-month certificates which yield 1.05% APY. The premium rate requires a $25,000 minimum balance with no additional deposits allowed.

Standard CD’s with a balance of between $500-$1,999 receive an APY fixed rate of 0.25% for all terms. Deposits over $2,000 receive higher rates between 0.35% and 0.90% based on the length of the term.

Dividends for interest bearing CD’s are compounded and paid out monthly. Withdrawals before the maturity of the CD will be subject to applicable penalties which may affect overall earnings. Additional deposits can also be made monthly.
