What is a CD grace period in US banking?

A CD grace period is a short window (typically 7 to 10 calendar days) immediately following your CD's maturity date during which you can withdraw your principal and interest or roll it into a different CD without paying any early withdrawal penalty.

What happens if I miss my CD's maturity grace period?

If you fail to notify your bank before the grace period expires, almost all US banks will automatically renew your CD for the same term at their current (often lower) standard renewal rate, locking your money up again.

US Bank Auto-Rollover Warning

Most US banks (such as Bank of America, Chase, and Citibank) provide a 7 to 10-day penalty-free grace period starting on your maturity date. If you take no action, your bank will automatically lock your funds into a new CD, usually at an unfavorable default renewal rate.
