For growing your money with a guaranteed fixed rate of return, a Certificate Account is hard to beat. Your rate is locked in when it is opened – eliminating the volatility inherent in other investments. With term options ranging 3 months to 60 months, it will be easy to find a Certificate that’s right for you.

- Most Certificates are also available as Traditional or Roth IRAs.
- The funds in your certificate are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).
