Feel secure

Higher earnings are worth the wait.
A brilliant financial strategy is not required to grow your money. All it takes is a little patience. With our Share Certificates, you can choose to save for a few months, several years, or somewhere in between. When that time is up, you can walk away with a good deal more money than when you started.
- Requires a minimum deposit of $500.
- Choose Share Certificates ranging from three months to five years.
- Our 36-month Step-Up option lets you move to a higher dividend rate should rates rise during your Certificate term.
- In general, longer term certificates pay even higher rates.
- Share Certificates earn higher yields than most standard savings accounts.
- Earn even higher rates with Jumbo Share Certificates when you have over $50,000 more to invest.
