    4.00% APY 36-Month No-Penalty Certificate: USC Credit Union offers a special 36-month new money certificate with a no-penalty option for members affected by the Eaton, Hurst, or Pacific Palisades wildfires in California. This certificate features an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 4.00%, effective as of February 24, 2025. This APY is not a variable rate and will not change during the term of the certificate. However, all credit union programs, rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change after account opening. Membership in USC Credit Union is required, and eligibility can be confirmed visiting www.usccreditunion.org. This offer is limited to new money deposits from external financial institutions; existing USCCU funds are ineligible. A minimum deposit of $1,000 is needed, and there is no maximum deposit limit. This certificate will automatically renew for another 36 months at the current APY upon maturity. Members directly affected by the Eaton, Hurst, or Pacific Palisades wildfires in California – whether they reside or work in the affected areas or have experienced job loss or income reduction – may make early withdrawals (partial or full) or close their certificates before maturity without penalty. This offer does not apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or Share/Certificate Secured Loans. As for term share accounts, this certificate does not compound dividends; therefore, required dividend payouts will be credited at the end of the certificate’s term, provided the account remains open until the dividends are due. Dividends will not be earned if the share certificate is closed before the dividends are credited at the end of each month. For more details, please refer to the Account Agreement and Truth-In-Savings Disclosures. Promotional offers cannot be combined with any other offers and may be subject to change without notice.
