  • Frequently Asked Questions

    With us, you can pick from a variety of term options. The minimum term is 3 months, and the maximum term is 60 months. If you'd like to keep your money there for longer than 60 months, you can typically renew your certificate.

    A term certificate and a CD (Certificate of Deposit) work essentially the same way. With both accounts, you agree to leave your money untouched for a set term in exchange for a higher interest rate. Banks call them CDs; credit unions usually refer to this account type as a "term certificate."
