Important Disclosures and Terms
† Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of 01/20/2026. The Composite Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for the Step Up CD is accurate as of 01/20/2026 and is based on the 3 fixed initial interest rates shown for Months 1 through 10, Months 11 through 20, and Months 21 through 30. APYs are subject to change before a term begins for new and renewing CDs. The APY assumes interest remains on deposit in the CD account until maturity. Credited interest may be withdrawn without penalty. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. A penalty will be imposed for early withdrawal of principal. Fees could reduce account earnings. The No Penalty CD allows withdrawal of the full balance and interest without penalty after the first 6 days you make the minimum deposit into your new CD and your deposit has been fully collected. An early withdrawal penalty applies to withdrawals from a No Penalty CD during the first 6 days. Partial withdrawals, including interest withdrawals, from a No Penalty CD are not permitted. $500 minimum deposit required.
When the APY is based on account balance, the applicable balance range will be used to determine your APY and interest rate; account balance may not be a factor for all CD terms. Citi may assign the same APY to more than one balance range.
Balance ranges include:
$0 – $9,999.99
$10,000 – $24,999.99
$25,000 – $49,999.99
$50,000 – $99,999.99
$100,000 – $499,999.99
$500,000 – $999,999.99
$1,000,000+
No Penalty CDs automatically renew without the no penalty feature to a 12 month CD. Step Up CDs automatically renew without the step up feature to a 30 month CD. All CDs automatically renew at maturity for the same term at the rates in effect on the CD renewal date. There is a grace period of up to 7 calendar days after the maturity date. You can make a change during the grace period without penalty. The CD opening date (renewal date) and maturity date will reset if you make a change during the grace period, and you will not be able to make any changes until the next maturity date without penalty.
