ACCOUNT OPTIONS

Certificate of Deposit (CD) and IRA account options

Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

A CD allows you to earn interest at a fixed rate for a specific period of time. CDs are ideal for customers who want a predictable return and don't need immediate access to their funds.

  • Fixed terms with clearly defined rates

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

IRAs are designed to help you save for retirement with tax-advantaged benefits, depending on the account type. Partners Bank offers IRA options to support long-term retirement planning.

  • Long-term retirement savings with local support

No Penalty CD

The No Penalty CD allows you to access your funds early without the standard long-term commitment of a traditional CD, while still earning interest over a fixed term.

A withdrawal made in the first six days of your new 7-month No Penalty CD is subject to an early withdrawal penalty of seven days' interest on the amount withdrawn.

  • Short-term CD option with added withdrawal flexibility

Raise Your Rate CD*

The Partners Bank Raise Your Rate CD offers the security of a fixed rate with the added advantage of future flexibility. If our advertised rate for the same term increases, customers have the one-time option to raise their CD rate to that higher rate for the remainder of their term.

*Raise Your Rate CD allows a one-time rate adjustment during the term to a higher Partners posted CD rate of the same term for the remainder of the term. Penalty may be assessed for early withdrawal. Fees and withdrawals could reduce earnings on accounts.

  • One-time option to increase your CD rate during the term
  • If Partners advertises the same CD term with a higher rate, you may choose a one-time bump-up to the current rate.
  • You decide when to exercise the raise by visiting a Partners Bank office.
  • Rate increases are not automatic and must be requested.
  • Limited to one rate increase per Raise Your Rate CD term.
  • Not available for IRAs.
