Once you open and fund your CD, you can't add funds again until your CD matures, but you can schedule a transfer up to one year before the maturity date. When your CD matures, you'll have a 10-day grace period - starting on your maturity date - to transfer funds or make other changes.

To add funds to your CD, go to Manage CDs online or in the Ally app. From there, you can make changes or add funds to your balance.
