FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We've got answers.

  • A share certificate is a type of savings account that pays a fixed interest rate over a specified term. This financial product is designed for members looking to earn higher returns on their savings while enjoying the security of a guaranteed rate.

    When you open a share certificate, you agree to deposit your funds for a predetermined period. In return, you'll receive a fixed interest rate, which is typically higher than that of a regular savings account. At maturity, you can access your principal and the earned interest.

  • Share certificates offer higher interest rates, predictable returns, and security with being insured by the NCUA up to $250,000.

  • Open a share certificate account easily online, at a branch, or through video banking.

  • While you can access your funds, early withdrawal from a share certificate could result in penalities, which may include forfeiting a portion of the interest earned.

    • Flexibility means having options. Manage your accounts in a branch, online, over the phone, through chat, in-app, with Video Banking, and more.
    • With our nationwide co-op ATM network, say goodbye to ATM fees and surcharges.
