MONEY SMART CD LOAN
You can take out a loan for as little as $500, or more based on your ability to pay, then use the borrowed funds to open a certificate of deposit (CD) for the same amount. Just make fixed monthly payments on the loan, and when the loan is paid off, the CD with earned interest is yours!

Credit Cards are issued by First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO®).
1. ATM Fees. No Wintrust Financial Corporation (‘WTFC’) transaction charge at ATMs in the Allpoint, ATM Access (Town Bank customers only), MoneyPass, or Sum networks. Banks outside the network may impose ATM surcharges. Up to 6 surcharge fees assessed by owners of ATMs outside the network will be reimbursed each statement cycle. Reimbursement excludes 1.10% International Service fee for certain foreign transactions conducted outside the continental U.S.
2. Digital Banking Services. Online or mobile banking required to access Zelle®. Internet/mobile connectivity required. Mobile banking required to access remote deposit capture. Deposits made through mobile banking or remote deposit capture are subject to deposit limits & funds are typically available by next business day. Deposit limits may change at any time. Third-party message/data rates & other restrictions may apply. For more information go to wintrust.com/agreement-and-disclosure. For more information go to: www.wintrust.com/agreement-and-disclosure.
3. Optional Dollar-A-Day Savings Service. Savings account must be opened at the same Wintrust Community Bank as the checking account.
4. Overdrafts. We decline or return transactions when you do not have enough money in your account to cover the charge. Some transactions could still cause a negative account balance, like when a transaction is approved for one amount but the actual charge is more. Example: if you add a tip for a meal after the transaction was approved, the full payment may go through & could result in a negative balance. If your balance is negative, you will not be charged an overdraft fee.
5. APR. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a fixed rate that’s based on the Prime Rate reported in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal (the “WSJ Prime”) plus a 5% margin, at the time the loan is made. For example, on 11/12/2024 WSJ Prime was 7.75% resulting in the APR disclosed. See the bank for details. Applicant must meet underwriting guidelines.
