Certificates (CDs)

Guaranteed growth with a rate you lock in today.

What is a share certificate? A certificate (the credit union version of a CD) lets you set aside money for a fixed term — from a few months to several years — in exchange for a guaranteed dividend rate that's typically higher than a regular savings account. Your funds are federally insured.
