FAQS

A certificate is a savings account that is often considered one of the safest ways to save, and holds a fixed amount of funds for a fixed amount of time, also called a term. Terms can range anywhere from one month to 5 years. During the term, the credit union will pay dividends on your funds until the date of maturity, resulting in a guaranteed dividend.

Most of our certificates can be opened with a minimum deposit of just $500.

There are many benefits to opening a certificate, including

  • Guaranteed returns with a fixed dividend rate
  • Safety, with funds insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. government agency
  • Flexibility, with terms ranging from one month to 5 years
  • No monthly maintenance fees

Yes, your funds are federally insured to at least $250,000 and backed by the full faith and credit of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. government agency.

At the end of the term, also called the date of maturity, your initial investment, plus all the dividend will automatically enroll into a new certificate specified in your account disclosure. However, you have the option to deposit the funds into a checking or savings account by notifying us within 10 days of your certificate maturity date. Please refer to your Truth In Savings for complete certificate maturity details.

*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are accurate as of January 7, 2022 and are subject to change without notice. After the Certificate is opened, you cannot make deposits into the account. Unless otherwise noted, certificates can be opened with a minimum deposit of $500. The APY is based on an assumption that dividends will remain in the account until maturity. Certificates will automatically renew on the maturity date for the same term unless otherwise note. The dividend rate in effect at the time the certificate renews will be applied on the account. The account holder has a ten (10) day grace period to change the term or close the certificate account without penalty. Penalties apply for early withdraw and could reduce earnings on the account. If funds are withdrawn before the maturity date, the penalty will equal 90 days’ dividends on your certificate account with a term of one year or less, and a penalty of up to 182 days’ dividends for certificates with a term of more than one year. The penalty calculated as forfeiture of part of dividends that have been or would have been earned on the account. It applies whether or not dividends have been earned. We will impose an early withdrawal penalty of at least seven (7) days’ simple interest if funds are withdrawn within six days of the date of deposit or within six days of the date of the immediately preceding partial withdrawal. We reserve the right to require at least seven (7) days written notice of an intended withdrawal. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividend has already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal. Unless otherwise noted, if a certificate falls below $500, it will be closed. Certificates are available to Affinity members only.
