Share Certificates

With a minimum deposit of as little as $500, you can open a share certificate. Terms are available from 6 months to 5 years.

Get maximum security with a guaranteed return.

Committing your funds to a set term awards you higher dividends than those offered on our Share Savings at the time the certificate is opened. The yields are consistently higher than those offered by competing financial institutions. While there is a penalty for early withdrawal, it is not as substantial as those charged elsewhere.
