CDs and IRAs

Eastern Michigan Bank offers a wide variety of certificates of deposit (also called time deposit accounts or time certificates) with maturity terms from six months to 60 months. Rates are established weekly and are fixed during the term to maturity. Special term & rate certificates may be offered from time to time.

Interest is paid or compounded monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually on CDs of at least $1,000. On CDs less than $1,000, interest is paid or compounded quarterly or semi-annually. Most accounts are automatically renewed at maturity at the rate in effect at maturity. Early withdrawal penalties may apply. Contact an Eastern Michigan Bank Customer Service Representative for more information about our CDs.

IRAs were established to encourage individuals to save for retirement. Now we have IRAs that can also be used for education, first home purchases and medical expenses.

Eastern Michigan Bank offers Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts or CESAs. Contact an Eastern Michigan Bank Customer Service Representative for more information about any of our IRA products. (The rules and restrictions governing IRAs are many; check with your tax advisor for the benefits of an IRA in your specific situation)
