We've Got A Certificate of Deposit
That's Right For You

Our Certificates of Deposits offer guaranteed yields, flexibility, and the safety of FDIC insurance. That's because you lock in a high yield that's guaranteed from the day you open the account until the day it matures. You know exactly what return you'll get and when you'll get it.

Your investment is safe because First Bank of Tennessee CDs are backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $100,000 per individual - making them as safe as any investment in the world.

We offer Certificates of Deposit in a broad range of maturities, each designed with a particular goal in mind. And, for as little as $500, you can open your own CD.

Certificates of Deposit may be purchased in terms of 91 days, 182 days, 7 months, 12 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months, 48 months & 60 months.

  • Interest begins to accrue on the business day you make the deposit
  • Interest is calculated using the daily balance
  • Interest does not capitalize on the 91 day CD
  • Interest capitalizes on the 182 day CD and the 7 month CD at maturity only
  • Some accounts will be automatically renewed at maturity. You have a grace period of ten (10) calendar days after the maturity date to withdraw the funds without being charged a penalty. If you elect a single maturity CD, interest will not accrue after the maturity date
  • If you withdraw any principal before the maturity date, a penalty equal to 31 days interest will be charged to your account on CD's with terms of 12 months or less; a penalty equal to 91 days interest will be charged to your account on CD's with terms of more than 12 months
  • After the account is opened, you may not make deposits into or withdrawals from the account until the maturity date. Special Certificates of Deposit with various features may be offered from time to time.
