Share Certificates (certificates) and certificates of deposit (CDs) have a lot in common. Both hold funds for a specified term length and earnings are a fixed percentage. However, share certificates are offered only by credit unions. As cooperatives, credit unions provide certificates as shares in the cooperative, and earnings are paid in the form of dividends. Share certificates are often insured by the NCUA. CDs may be offered by credit unions or banks. Earnings are paid in the form of interest. CDs may be insured by the NCUA or FDIC.
Our limited-time 6-Month Add-On Certificate offers unlimited deposits. Funds cannot be added to other Share Certificates. However, you can open multiple Share Certificates.
Share Certificates automatically renew upon maturity for the same term length unless otherwise specified. If you wish to cash out or open a new certificate with a different term length, select “Change Certificate Maturity Options” in your Share Certificate account in Online and Mobile Banking, or visit your nearest branch for assistance.
