A CD ladder allows you to open four CDs at the same time, for the same amount, but maturing at staggered intervals.

Here’s an example for a 12-month CD ladder:

You open four CDs at the same time, with 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month terms.

When each CD matures, its new term automatically changes to 12 months.

The result is four 12-month CDs, with one maturing every three months.

We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on your CD. This method applies a periodic rate each day to your balance. Interest begins to accrue on the business day of your deposit. Interest for CDs is calculated on a 365-day basis, although some business CDs may calculate interest on a 360-day basis. The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) disclosed on your deposit receipt or on the maturity notice assumes interest will remain on deposit until maturity. On maturities of more than one year, interest will be paid at least annually. Please see the Deposit Account Agreement and rate sheet for further details.
