StartUP Certificate
Credit union share certificates are comparable to certificates of deposit (CDs) and are a great way to earn higher yields on money that you won’t need to use for a while. Our flexible StartUP Certificate offers higher yields and the ability to add more money over the 12-month term of the certificate.
High Yield With Flexible Terms
The StartUP Share Certificate is an ideal savings tool for people starting out on their financial journey and those who are serious about saving, but need flexible options. Some of the highlights of this account include:
- Low initial investment: $10 minimum balance
- High yield: 5.00% APY* return
- Shorter commitment: 12-month term
- Add funds: add money during the term (up to $1,000)
- Loyalty bonus: use PlusPoints to boost the dividend rate by 0.25%
