Please see Rate Sheet for interest rate and annual percentage yields available for Non-Retirement and Traditional IRA, Roth IRA and Coverdell Education Certificates of Deposit (CDs).

Compounding and crediting of interest – Interest begins to accrue on the day you open or renew a CD; provided that the renewal is made during the applicable grace period, in which case interest on the renewed CD begins to accrue as of the maturity date. If an additional deposit of cash, check or any other noncash item is being made to the CD at maturity or within the grace period, this deposit will begin to accrue interest as of the date of that additional deposit. On all Fixed Rate, Instant Access and Variable Rate CDs, interest will be compounded daily and credited monthly, with the final interest credited when your CD matures.
Withdrawal of interest prior to maturity – You may withdraw all or part of the accrued interest credited to your CD at any time. As an alternative, you may have the interest credited to your American Bank checking, savings, or money market account monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and will be determined upon the term of the CD. The annual percentage yield assumes interest will remain on deposit, in the CD, until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. Other options may be available for IRA CDs. Please ask for more details.
Minimum balance to open the accounts – You must deposit $500.00 to open a CD and $250.00 to open a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA or Coverdell Education CD.

Accrual of interest on noncash deposits – Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (for example, checks).
Transaction limitations – You may not make any additional deposits into your account before maturity. You may not make withdrawals of principal from your account before maturity without penalty. There is a 10-day grace period after each renewal date during which withdrawals are permitted without penalty. You may withdraw interest any time during the term after it is credited to your account without penalty. The annual percentage yield assumes interest will remain on deposit. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.
Time requirements – Your account will mature _______________ .
Early withdrawal penalties – A penalty may be imposed for withdrawal before maturity, whether such withdrawal occurs voluntarily (made by you) or involuntarily (such as by our set off against funds in the account or as a result of an attachment or other legal process). We may close your account and impose the early withdrawal penalty on the entire account balance in the event of a partial early withdrawal.

The terms of your CD obligate you to leave the funds on deposit with us until the maturity date of your renewed CD, except the Instant Access CD. Any withdrawal which we permit during the first 7 days of the initial term of an Instant Access CD, or prior to the maturity date of any other CD, may be subject to a financial penalty.  We will apply an exception in cases of death or legal incapacity of any owner of the CD.  Additional exceptions may apply for Traditional and Roth IRAs.  Please contact us with any questions.  

Early Withdrawal Penalty for New or Renewing CDs

One (1) year or less: You will be charged a penalty, in an amount equal to 90 days’ simple interest on the amount withdrawn. Penalties are calculated at the rate being paid on the deposit at the time of the withdrawal, regardless of the length of time the funds have remained on deposit. Where necessary, any funds needed to complete the penalty shall be deducted from the principal remaining in the account.

More than one (1) year but less than three (3) years: You will be charged a penalty, in an amount equal to 180 days’ simple interest on the amount withdrawn. Penalties are calculated at the rate being paid on the deposit at the time of withdrawal, regardless of the length of time the funds have remained on deposit. Where necessary, any funds needed to complete the penalty shall be deducted from the principal remaining in the account.

Three (3) years or more:  You will be charged a penalty, in an amount equal to 365 days’ simple interest on the amount withdrawn. Penalties are calculated at the rate being paid on the deposit at the time of withdrawal, regardless of the length of time the funds have remained on deposit.  Where necessary, any funds needed to complete the penalty shall be deducted from the principal remaining in the account. 

Grace Period - You will have a grace period of 10 days after maturity to withdraw funds without penalty.  Interest will be paid to you during the grace period.  

Instant Access CD - An Instant Access CD permits immediate withdrawal without penalty after the first 7 days following initial purchase. Any withdrawal that we permit during this first 7-day period will be subject to a penalty equal to 90 days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn. Where necessary, any funds needed to complete the penalty shall be deducted from the principal remaining in the account. Partial withdrawals are not permitted.

Renewal Policy – All automatically renewable Fixed Rate, Variable Rate, and Instant Access CDs will renew into the same type CD for additional periods of the same term, unless you:

  • notify us during the grace period which is 10 days after maturity that you wish to redeem your CD; or
  • notify us prior to the original or any subsequent maturity date that you wish to redeem your CD at maturity; or
  • receive a written notice from us notifying you that we have decided to not renew your deposit at maturity.

We reserve the right on automatically renewable CDs to change the interest rate and annual percentage yield for any subsequent renewal period(s) to be equal to the interest rate and annual percentage yield we are offering at such time for our CDs with like amounts and maturities.

All automatically renewable CDs renew under the terms of the applicable Account Agreement in effect on the renewable date.
