The penalty depends on your term.

For all CDs purchased or renewed before 12/7/2013, this table shows the penalty you could be charged, depending on your CD term, if you withdraw from your CD early.

All CDs Purchased or Renewed Before 12/07/2013
All CD terms	60 days of interest

For all CDs purchased or renewed on or after 12/7/2013, this table shows the penalty you could be charged, depending on your CD term, if you withdraw from your CD early.

CDs purchased or renewed on or after 12/07/2013, the penalty depends on your term.
24 month or less	60 days of interest
25 month - 36 month	90 days of interest
37 month - 48 month	120 days of interest
49 month or longer	150 days of interest
11 month (No Penalty CD)	You can withdraw funds any time after the first 6 days from funding.

The penalty is calculated using the interest method detailed in the Ally Bank Deposit Agreement (PDF). It's first deducted from the accrued interest and then, if necessary, the principal. Keep in mind, you can't make a partial early withdrawal.

For Raise Your Rate CDs, the penalty is calculated using the interest rate in effect on your account on the day you request an early withdrawal.

If the account owner passes away or is judged legally incompetent, we'll waive the early withdrawal penalty.

To make an early withdrawal, log in to online banking and choose Manage CDs to select Early Withdrawal.

No. Once you open and fund your CD, you can't add funds again until your CD matures, but you can schedule a transfer up to one year before the maturity date. When your CD matures, you'll have a 10-day grace period -- starting on your maturity date — to transfer funds or make other changes.

To add funds to your CD online: Log in and choose Manage CDs.

To add funds to your CD from the Ally Mobile App: Log in, choose after the Current Balance, select Manage CDs and then choose Make Changes.

If you schedule a transfer prior to maturity, we'll usually initiate that transfer on your maturity date. You can transfer money from another Ally Bank account, Ally Invest account or a verified account you have at another institution.
Because rates can change daily, we won't know your new rate until the last day of your 10-day grace period. That's when we calculate your rate to make sure it reflects our best rate, plus the loyalty reward you get for renewing with us. On day 11, you can go to your account details to see your new rate.

Check current rates on ally.com, or learn more about your CD rate at renewal.
You don't have to do anything to get the loyalty reward.

It's automatically added when your CD, including IRA CDs, renew. Want to change terms? No problem. Your loyalty reward will be added to any term you choose for your CD, including IRA CD, at renewal. Check back 30 days before your CD matures to see what the reward is at that time.

To change terms or add funds online: Log in, choose Manage CDs. From there, you can make changes or add funds to your balance.

To change terms or add funds from the Ally Mobile App: Log in, choose after the Current Balance, select Manage CDs and then choose Make Changes.
You’ll have a 10-day grace period starting on your maturity date to do one (or more) of the following:
- Change the term
- Make additional deposits or withdraw funds
- Close the CD
If you’re looking to renew your CD, no action is needed. After your 10-day grace period, your CD will automatically renew into the same term. There are Select CDs that don't renew into the same term; instead, they renew into the term defined when the CD was opened.
