The 2-month penalty from ALLY is NOT TRUE !! I’ve tried to get the disclosures now for a week, and they will not provide them! Their website lists “penalties” but will not confirm anything about 2-month penalties in writing, so if you want to just deposit $100k based on verbal promises, I’ve got a bridge to sell you …

The 60 day withdrawal penalty is already confirmed in their published Deposit Agreement. This document should be binding on Ally until Ally changes it. So far it has not changed since the Ally unit was created by GMAC bank.

Here is the exact wording of Ally’s withdrawal policy as found in their agreement:

Early Withdrawals — You may not make a partial withdrawal of funds you deposit in a CD prior
to the maturity date. If you withdraw all of the funds you have deposited in a CD prior to the
maturity date, we will close your CD, add the accrued interest to date to the balance and impose
a penalty on your early withdrawal. The penalty imposed will equal sixty (60) days of interest.
This penalty does not apply in the case of death or legal incapacity of any owner or in the case
of the Ally No Penalty CD, which does not allow withdrawals on the date you fund your account
or during the first six (6) days following the date you fund your account (except for the death or
legal incapacity of any owner). If you have a Raise Your Rate CD, the 60-day interest penalty will
be calculated using the interest rate that applies to your Raise Your Rate CD at the time of your
early withdrawal.
