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.
