Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the maturity date of my Citadel Certificate?

You have several options to view the maturity date of your Citadel Certificate:


In addition, Citadel will mail a reminder to you approximately two weeks prior to the maturity date.

What happens if I withdraw the funds of a Certificate before the maturity date?

Citadel will impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the funds before the maturity date. The penalty imposed will equal 90 days of dividends on your account for account terms of one year or less; 180 days of dividends for account terms greater than one year and less than three years; and 365 days of dividends for account terms of three years or greater.

We calculate all early withdrawal penalties on the principal amount withdrawn at the dividend rate in effect on the account on the withdrawal date. If your account has not earned enough dividends to cover an early withdrawal penalty, we deduct any dividends first and take the remainder of the penalty from your principal.

 

What are “laddered” Certificates?

Multiple Certificates with different terms opened at that same time in order to get a higher tiered rates. This can be done by calling the Customer Service Center at (800) 666-0191 or visiting a Citadel branch.
