Open a Share Certificate

Save More with a Credit Union Certificate

A Share Certificate allows you to deposit a fixed amount of money for a specified period, called the term, often with a higher rate than regular savings accounts. This helps you save more by locking in your funds for a set time, encouraging you to resist the temptation to withdraw prematurely. As your money earns interest over time, it contributes towards more savings, making a Certificate Account a good option to help you reach your long-term financial goals.
