New certificate of deposit (CD) product allows investors to choose the sustainability sector their deposits will fund.
New Resource Bank (OTCBB:NWBN) today formally debuts a new certificate of deposit (CD) product, the Impact CD, which lets investors choose one of three key sustainability-related sectors to support with their deposits: solar and other alternative energy projects, organic products or nonprofit organizations.
The bank previously offered the Solar CD, which funded loans to solar installers and other solar businesses. The Impact CD replaces that product.
"The Impact CD gives our customers more choices, allowing them to direct their deposits to the area they are most passionate about," said New Resource President and CEO Vince Siciliano. "The Impact CD also better reflects the depth and breadth of our lending to sustainability-oriented businesses and organizations."
The Impact CD is available for terms ranging from one month to five years, with a $2,500 minimum opening balance. Clients choose their personal Impact segment when they open the CD. Their funds will then support new loans by New Resource Bank to solar and other alternative energy businesses and projects, businesses in the organic product sector or nonprofit organizations.
"This is an unusual opportunity to really engage with your bank and see how your funds are helping to develop a more sustainable community," Siciliano said.
The New Resource Bank Impact CD offers a fixed rate. There are no maintenance fees for the Impact CD, but early withdrawal penalties apply. All New Resource Bank CDs are FDIC insured.
