If I re-title my CD Account as a revocable living trust, does it change the maturity date or other CD Account terms?

No. Accounts re-titled as Revocable Living Trusts are not a separate type of account. Account re-titling does not affect any existing Account product terms or conditions, such as the original scheduled maturity date, any applicable maturity renewal option, interest disbursement option, or the CD Early Withdrawal Penalties. Please see the Deposit Account Agreement for full CD terms and conditions.
