What is a No-Penalty CD?

Think of a no-penalty CD as a twist on a traditional certificate of deposit. No-penalty CDs are similar to traditional CDs except for one key difference. The terms of a traditional CD often impose limitations or penalties or even full restrictions on withdrawals before the account reaches maturity. When does a CD reach maturity? At the conclusion of its term length following the purchase date.

Like its name suggests, a no-penalty CD does not impose early withdrawal penalties if you need to tap your savings before the term is complete. No-penalty CDs are also sometimes known as liquid CDs, as they offer considerable liquidity by allowing you access to your deposited funds. While no-penalty CDs typically offer lower rates than fixed-term CDs, they still provide a higher rate than most regular savings accounts.

If you do need to access funds invested in a no-penalty CD before the term is over, don’t expect to make a partial withdrawal, as that’s typically not allowed; you’ll have to extract its full value, closing the account. You also cannot make incremental, top-up deposits after the first purchase; this is true of both fixed-term and no-penalty CDs.

No-Penalty CDs vs. Fixed-Term CDs

No-Penalty CDs
Rates are higher for longer term lengths, and generally exceed what high-yield savings accounts offer

VS

Fixed-Term CDs
Rates are higher for longer term lengths, and typically are more competitive than no-penalty CDs of the similar term length
No-Penalty CDs
Closing the account early is permitted without penalty. Earnings may be affected by early withdrawal. Partial withdrawals of funds are not permitted

VS

Fixed-Term CDs
Closing the account early may not be permitted, or may incur a penalty fee. Partial withdrawals of funds are not permitted
No-Penalty CDs
A one-time deposit opens the account. No deposits permitted thereafter

VS

Fixed-Term CDs
A one-time deposit opens the account. No deposits permitted thereafter
No-Penalty CDs
Rate is fixed for the duration of the account’s term

VS

Fixed-Term CDs
Rate is fixed for the duration of the account’s term
