Coverdell Education Savings

APY (Annual Percentage Yield)  is accurate as of and is subject to change at any time. Fees may reduce earnings. 

We will establish your certificate on the day we receive your application and funding. Once purchased, the rate is locked in for the term of your certificate.

Certificate dividends are compounded daily and credited monthly.

For all certificates funded by ACH, funds cannot be withdrawn within the first 60 days of the account opening.

 

Early Redemption Penalties

Penalties are imposed for early withdrawal of Coverdell Education share certificates. You must provide your request in writing.

If the certificate is redeemed within the first year, all dividends will be forfeited.

If after the first year, but prior to the maturity date, the early withdrawal penalty will equal 30% of what would have been earned if the certificate had been held to maturity, not to exceed total dividends earned.

*Please consult your tax advisor

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

 

 

 

Excellent Service

Penfed was founded for our defense community, so we know a thing or two about service.

 

Safety & Security

PENZIOX knows defense. Our first duty always is to protect our members.

 

 

Save on School

You can’t put a price on knowledge. Tuition, books, and room and board, however, are another story. An education certificate is a smarter way to save. With our education certificate, you’re less likely to dip into your savings prematurely and you get a higher yield.

 

 

 

 

Not Just for College

We’re all for investing from a young age. That may mean sending your children to a more expensive elementary, middle or high school. PENZIOX Coverdell Education Savings Certificates can be used for qualified elementary and secondary education.

I just started using Penfeds new Travel AMEX card on my last trip to Basal - my other cards charge me just for being away but not this card with Penfed.
