All Union Bank CDs offer a fixed-rate APY. For any CD with a deposit of less than $1 million, interest is compounded daily and paid according to the account holder’s choice. Most accounts are eligible for interest to be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or on the maturity date. However, short-term CDs are only eligible for interest payment at the maturity date.
Union Bank also offers IRA CDs according to its frequently asked questions page, but rate and term details are only available by contacting your local Union Bank branch.
How Union Bank compares to top-yielding banks
Union Bank offers one of the shortest CD terms on the market. With an APY of 0.2 percent, this CD is highly competitive compared to other short-term CD options. SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union offers a higher APY for a one-month CD at 0.25 percent although the minimum deposit is significantly higher at $20,000.
When it comes to CD interest rates for longer-term CD accounts, Union Bank falls short of the competition, even with a relatively low minimum deposit. For example, Delta Community Bank offers a five-year CD with a 1.35 percent APY and $1,000 minimum deposit.

Other savings options at Union Bank
Union Bank offers two other savings options for more liquidity.
With Union Bank’s regular savings account, you can schedule transfers from your checking account and enjoy unlimited transfers and withdrawals. The low minimum opening deposit of $50 is appealing, but the interest rate is just 0.01 percent. There are monthly maintenance fees, but these can be avoided either by maintaining a minimum $300 daily balance or by making at least one $25 or greater deposit into the savings account each month.
Union Bank’s money market savings account offers a bit more incentive with variable interest rates but requires a minimum deposit of $2,500. You’ll need to maintain that daily balance to avoid monthly maintenance fees.
