**Member must present a Jump-Up rate coupon to take the jump. Coupon is received at the time of account opening. The interest rate and APY may be increased one-time during the 24-month term by redeeming the Jump-Up rate coupon. At the time of redemption, the Jump Rate APY will be equal to the current non-promotional 24-month Certificate rate in effect at the time of the jump. Once this option is used, or upon first maturity, the jump-up capability will expire. The new rate will carry forward from the date of the increase, and will not be retroactive. Early withdrawal penalties apply.
