Yes. Time certificates of deposits or CDs are not completely liquid. When you buy one, you enter into a contract involving a fixed amount of money, principal, for a predetermined period of time, the term, and an agreed-upon interest rate and yield.

Banks are permitted to assess an early withdrawal penalty whenever funds from a time deposit are withdrawn prior to the date of maturity. This penalty should be explained in the account agreement you received when you opened your account.
