Share Certificates

Certificates

A Share Certificate is a risk-free investment option that helps you grow your money at a guaranteed, higher rate than a regular savings account. You commit to keeping your money on deposit for a set term; the longer the term you select, the higher the dividend rate you earn. Choose from a standard Certificate, our Smart Start Certificate or the Step Up Certificate.
