*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. The APY for Term/IRA Certificates assumes principal and dividends paid quarterly remain on deposit until maturity. If the dividends are withdrawn prior to maturity, the APY will be lower. You should consult a tax professional about withdrawn Term/IRA Certificate dividends, which may be taxable. A penalty may be imposed for withdrawals made before maturity. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. See account disclosure for full details or contact a Team Member for further information.
