Certificate of Deposit FAQs
Renewal term
On the maturity date, your CD will automatically renew to the disclosed Renewal Term and effective Standard Interest Rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) unless you take action on the maturity date or within the following ten-calendar-day grace period.
Approximately 30 days before maturity, we will send you a notice reminding you of the maturity date and scheduled Renewal Term. Contact Wells Fargo on your maturity date or during your ten-calendar-day grace period to make any of the following changes: Renew your CD at a term and rates that is best for you, add funds or generally make withdrawals, close the CD.
Interest is only paid through the maturity date if you choose to withdraw funds or close your CD.
Special Interest Rate
Special Interest Rates are applicable to initial term only.
On the maturity date, Special Interest Rate CDs automatically renew to the disclosed Renewal Term and the interest rate will reset at the Standard Interest Rate and Annual Percentage Yield in effect on the maturity date unless the customer makes a change on the maturity date or within the ten-calendar-day grace period.
APY (Annual Percentage Yield)
The APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of interest paid on the account, based on the interest rate compounded daily for a 365-day period.
If you receive a periodic statement, that statement will include the Annual Percentage Yield Earned (APYE) on your account for the period covered by the statement.
Current renewal APY
On the maturity date, your Special Fixed Rate CD will automatically renew to the disclosed Renewal Term and the Standard Interest Rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) in effect on that day unless you take action on the maturity date or within the ten-calendar-day grace period.

You may pay an early withdrawal penalty or a Regulation D penalty if you withdraw funds from your account before the term is complete. Some exceptions may apply. Penalties could reduce earnings on this account. The early withdrawal penalty amount is calculated and deducted from any earned interest. If the penalty is greater than the earned interest, the remaining penalty amount is deducted from the principal of the account.
The Regulation D penalty is seven days’ simple interest on the amount withdrawn and applies to:
- Withdrawals made within seven days of account opening including the day the account was opened.
- Withdrawals made during the grace period, when additional deposits are made during the grace period and the withdrawal exceeds the amount of the matured CD balance.
- Withdrawals within seven days of any prior withdrawal where the Bank’s early withdrawal penalty is not applied.
Other than the Regulation D penalty described above, any money withdrawn from the CD before the end of its term will be subject to an early withdrawal penalty based on the length of the CD term. If your term is:
- Less than 90 days (or less than 3 months), the penalty is 1 month's interest,
- 90 to 365 days (or 3-12 months), the penalty is 3 months' interest,
- Over 12 months through 24 months, the penalty is 6 months' interest, or
- Over 24 months, the penalty is 12 months' interest.

A Relationship Interest Rate is variable and subject to change at any time without notice, including setting the interest rate equal to the Standard Interest Rate or to zero (0.00%), which could change the Relationship Annual Percentage Yield (APY). For CDs, the change will occur upon renewal. To receive a disclosed Relationship Interest Rate/Relationship APY, the eligible savings account or CD must remain linked to a Prime Checking, Premier Checking or Private Bank Interest Checking account. Upon linking, or switching a linked account to an eligible savings account, it may take up to two business days for the Relationship Interest Rate to be applied to your eligible savings account. CDs must be linked at account open and/or at every renewal. If the checking account is closed for any reason or the eligible savings account or CD is de-linked, the account will revert to the then-current applicable Standard Interest Rate on that date; for CDs, this change will occur upon renewal. Any Special Interest Rate would not expire until the expiration date of that Special Interest Rate.
The minimum opening deposit for a Standard Fixed Rate CD is $2,500, unless otherwise noted.
Special Interest Rate CDs require a $5,000 minimum opening deposit unless otherwise noted. Public funds are not eligible for these offers. Special Interest Rates are applicable to initial term only. At maturity, Special Interest Rate CDs will automatically renew for the Renewal Term stated above, at the interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) in effect on the maturity date for CDs not subject to a Special Interest Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. The Bank may limit the amount you may deposit in this product to an aggregate of $2.5 million.

- For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term).
- For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
CD rates are subject to change at any time and are not guaranteed until the CD is opened.
Early withdrawal(s) may be subject to either the Regulation D Penalty or the early withdrawal penalty. Some exceptions may apply.
The Regulation D Penalty is seven days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn and applies to:
- Withdrawals made within seven days of account opening including the day the account was opened.
- Withdrawals made during the grace period, when additional deposits are made during the grace period and the withdrawal exceeds the amount of the matured CD balance.
- Withdrawals within seven days of any prior withdrawal where the Bank's early withdrawal penalty is not applied.
Other than the Regulation D penalty described above, any money withdrawn from the CD before the end of its term will be subject to an early withdrawal penalty based on the length of the CD term. If your term is:
- Less than 90 days (or less than 3 months), the penalty is 1 month's interest,
- 90 through 365 days (or 3-12 months), the penalty is 3 months' interest,
- Over 12 months through 24 months, the penalty is 6 months' interest, or
- Over 24 months, the penalty is 12 months' interest.
