Explore a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at Financial Plus Credit Union

Looking to lock in your money for an upcoming expense? Whether you are saving for 12 months or 5 years, a Certificate of Deposit (CD) may be right for you. A certificate is a time-bound savings option that allows you to deposit a certain amount of money, for a fixed period, at a specific rate. Since funds are locked in, you're guaranteed to receive the amount you locked in, along with earned interest at the end of the term. 


What a certificate could be used for:

  • Saving for a down payment on a house
  • Funding a future vacation
  • Paying for a wedding
  • And more

Benefits of opening a certificate:

  • Safety: Money is securely locked away
  • Flexibility: Varying terms for your needs (up to 60 months)
  • Predictability: Know the dividends you will earn on your money

What are the advantages of a certificate?

  1. Guaranteed returns: One of the most significant advantages of a certificate is the guarantee of returns. We provide a fixed interest rate for the entire term, ensuring that your investment will grow steadily over time.
  2. Low risk: Certificates are considered low-risk investments because they are insured by the NCUA up to $250,000. This guarantee provides peace of mind, knowing that even in uncertain economic times, your principal investment is protected.
  3. Higher interest rates: Compared to traditional savings accounts, certificates often offer higher interest rates. This means that your money can grow at a faster pace, helping you achieve your financial goals sooner.
