Raisin is not an FDIC-insured bank or NCUA-insured credit union and does not hold any customer funds. FDIC deposit insurance covers the failure of an insured bank and NCUA deposit insurance coverage covers the failure of an insured credit union.

Raisin does not charge platform or maintenance fees, and we never take a cut of the interest you earn. Instead, our partner banks and credit unions compensate us for the technology and support we provide to host their products. This allows you to access top rates while helping financial institutions connect with savers they may not have been able to reach before.

A no-penalty CD is a fixed-rate savings account that allows you to withdraw your full balance and earned interest before the term ends without paying an early withdrawal fee. It offers the fixed APY of a traditional CD combined with the increased liquidity of a high-yield savings account.
A no-penalty CD works by locking in a specific interest rate for a set term (e.g., 12 months). Unlike standard CDs, you can close the account and access your funds (usually starting 7 days after funding) without losing any interest earned. Most institutions require a full withdrawal rather than partial ones to waive the penalty.
At maturity, your no-penalty CD term ends. If you have set your no-penalty CD to withdraw at maturity, those funds and all earned interest, are returned to you. If your account is set to renew, your funds will then typically roll into a new term at the current market rate. When a CD rolls over, you have a "grace period" (typically 7 to 10 days) to withdraw your funds or move them into a new product.
Many savers choose a no-penalty CD when they want to secure a fixed rate in a falling-rate environment while maintaining the flexibility to access their cash for unexpected needs. It offers a balance between the predictable returns of a traditional CD and the accessibility of a savings account, making it a functional option for those who prioritize both yield and liquidity.
The primary benefits of a no-penalty CD include:
Rate protection: You secure a fixed APY that won't drop even if market rates do.
Zero withdrawal fees: You can access your full balance and earned interest without the typical penalties associated with traditional CDs (usually starting 7 days after funding).
Financial flexibility: It functions as a high-yield liquid reserve that earns a fixed rate of interest for a set period.
Federal protection: Deposits are FDIC or NCUA insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured institution.
