Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Certificate of Deposit (CD)? A CD is a type of savings account offered by banking institutions that provides a fixed interest rate over a specified term. In exchange for agreeing to leave your money deposited for the term length, you earn a higher interest rate compared to a regular savings account.
How do I complete an Early Withdrawal? We know life happens! Withdrawing funds before the Certificate's maturity usually incurs a penalty, which can be a certain number of months' worth of interest or a percentage of the principal. You can request an early withdrawal through the DowneyFCU mobile app Secure Message Center, by calling us at 562-862-8141 or visiting our Branch. Once the request is processed, you'll receive your funds.
Are there fees associated with a Standard Certificate? A one-time no penalty withdrawal of up to 50% of the current balance is allowed! Any additional withdrawals before the end of the term will result in a 90-day dividend penalty on all certificates or IRAs. Also, enjoy NO monthly service charge.
