A substantial penalty is required if we grant your request for early withdrawal.   The following is Bank of Chestnut Policy on early withdrawals from a certificate of deposit:  

 

  • Where a time deposit with an original maturity of 7 days to 3 months, or any portion thereof, is paid before maturity, a depositor shall forfeit an amount equal to the greater of (a) all interest earned on the amount of withdrawn from the most recent of the date of deposit, date of maturity, or date on which notice was given, or (b) all interest that could have been earned on the amount withdrawn during a period equal to one half the maturity period or the required notice period.

 

  • Where a time deposit with an original maturity of longer than 3 months to one year, or any portion thereof, is paid before maturity, a depositor shall forfeit an amount at least equal to 91 days interest earned, or that could have been earned, on the amount withdrawn at the simple interest rate being paid on the deposit, regardless of the length of time the funds withdrawn have remained on deposit.

 

  • Where a time deposit with an original maturity of more than a year, or any portion thereof, is paid before maturity, the depositor shall forfeit amount equal to at least 182 days interest earned, or that could have been earned, on the amount withdrawn at the simple interest rate being paid on the deposit, regardless of the length of time the funds withdrawn have remained on deposit. Any of the above penalties may result in a reduction of the principal sum of the account.

 

  • We will honor a request for early withdrawal and we will not assess any penalty if any owner of the deposit dies or is judicially declared to be mentally incompetent.

D. is a single maturity certificate, present it promptly at maturity, as no interest is payable after the maturity date.

We will exercise our discretion in considering any request for early withdrawal under either of these circumstances.
