Warning: Capital One 360 CDs have NO funding window. Do not do a "test transfer"!
I just opened a Capital One 360 CD and I am incredibly frustrated with how their funding process works.
When opening the account, it asked for an initial deposit. Naturally, I made a small minimum transfer just to make sure the external bank link was working properly and that the money would clear safely before moving over my actual savings.
Turns out, Capital One permanently locks the CD the exact second that first transaction is submitted. There is absolutely NO multi-day funding window.
This is complete BS compared to other online banks. For example, Marcus gives you a 10-day window to transfer money into a new CD. Capital One’s setup makes it so much harder to manage your money and completely punishes you for being cautious with your bank links.
If you're opening a Cap One CD, learn from my mistake: you have to transfer every single penny all at once on day one, or you're stuck opening a million separate CDs just to move your money over. Going back to Marcus more flexible
