FAQ

First Internet Bank will send through US mail a reminder of your CD maturity approximately one month in advance of your maturity date. If you use the online banking site, you may also use the personal reminder option to request an electronic reminder prior to maturity. Click Manage Money, select Mobile Banking & Alerts and click Add an alert.

If you do nothing, your First Internet Bank CD will automatically renew at maturity. Each renewal term will be the same as the original term, beginning on the maturity date. The rate on the new CD will be the rate in effect for that term on the maturity date.

If you choose not to renew the CD, you will have a grace period of ten (10) calendar days after maturity to withdraw the funds without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. If you notify us in writing prior to the maturity date that you do not wish to renew the CD, we will close the CD on the maturity date and mail a check to you for the balance of your CD.

If you also have a First Internet Bank checking or savings account, you can transfer the entire balance of your mature CD into your checking or savings account and close the CD through the online banking site. Click Additional Services, then CD Maturity Options.

You may transfer balances from other credit cards up to the available credit on your First Internet Bank credit card. There is no fee to transfer balances, but interest will begin to accrue on the transfer amount immediately. (There is no grace period on balance transfers.) You may request a balance transfer when you apply for a First Internet Bank credit card. If you already have a First Internet Bank credit card, log in to your online banking account, click Additional Services and select Request Balance Transfers.
