    Savings Certificates

    Looking for a better rate for your savings? While there’s no question that putting money away helps you save for the future, if you’re earning low rates on your funds, you’re not getting the most value.

    Our savings certificates might be the answer. Ideal for all people at all phases of life, our savings certificates offer fixed rates, guaranteed returns, and maturities ranging from 3 months to five years. With an opening deposit as low as $500 to start, you’ll be well on your way to earning better yields.

    An account to help you earn higher dividends on your investment

    • $500 minimum opening deposit
    • Dividends paid out at monthly intervals
    • Withdraw earnings at any time*
    • The ability to use these savings certificates as collateral on a Certificate Secured Loan
    • Certificates from 3 months to 5 years

    "I've enjoyed being a member of the credit union for about 30 yrs."

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Can I withdraw money from my certificate before the term is up?

      You can withdraw any earnings at any time, but there are penalties involved for early withdrawal of the certificate principal.

    • Can I use a certificate as my share in the credit union?
