We offer multiple Share Certificate options:
- Limited Time Share Certificates require a minimum balance of $5,000. They are offered for terms of three months, nine months, and eighteen months for a limited time only.
- Regular Share Certificates offer the most term length options and require the lowest initial deposit, at $500. They are offered for terms of six months, or one to five years
- Bump-Up Share Certificates allow you to “bump up” to a higher rate once during the term if rates rise. They require a minimum deposit of $5,000 and offer terms of four and five years
- Mini-Jumbo Share Certificates offer longer terms for greater deposit amounts. The minimum deposit is $20,000 and terms are four and five years
- Jumbo Share Certificates offer shorter terms on large deposits. At least $100,000 must be deposited for terms ranging from 30 days to one year
We also offer IRA Share Certificate options.
If you have $2,500 or more in savings but want to be able to access your funds without penalty, you may want to consider our Money Market account.
