Beem Credit Union does not publish how often its term deposits compound. Every other rate on this site is an annual equivalent, so the figures above are comparable only if Beem Credit Union compounds annually too — and it does not say. Ask them before you commit: on a five-year term the difference between annual and simple interest is real money. If you find it stated anywhere, tell us and it goes on this page.
