Get Answers to Your Banking Questions

My certificate of deposit (CD) has matured. How and when will I receive my funds?

Banks may process maturing CDs in a number of ways, and you should ask the bank about its particular method or review the terms of your account agreement.

Generally, banks may process CDs at a single location and not at each branch. In that case, your CD will be forwarded to that location for processing. You may receive a check in the mail, or if you have another account at the bank, you may receive a direct deposit into that account.
