FAQ

90 days of simple interest at the current rate
Terms of more than 12 months but less than 48 months
180 days of simple interest at the current rate
Terms of 48 months or more

If you’re interested in having access to your funds within a shorter period of time without a penalty, consider a CD ladder strategy.

Synchrony Bank does not provide tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor for actual advantages and any potential tax implications before withdrawing funds from an IRA CD.

You can withdraw interest paid during your CD’s current term anytime without penalty. You can transfer the interest to a Synchrony Bank High Yield Savings or Money Market Account or a non-Synchrony Bank account. For help withdrawing your interest, call us at 1-866-226-5638.

After you initially fund your CD you can make deposits only during the 10-day grace period after the CD matures. This applies to IRA CDs as well.

If you are interested in adding money to your CD portfolio, consider a CD ladder strategy. A CD ladder strategy is a way of managing your CD portfolio so that instead of depositing funds in just one CD, funds are spread out in several CDs of different terms, such as from one to five years. With this strategy, you can benefit from more frequent access to your funds while still taking advantage of the often-better rates that accompany longer term CDs. Plus, with CD terms spread over a longer time period, interest rate fluctuations would not impact your entire portfolio. Read more about CD ladder strategy here.
