Share Certificates

Share Certificates are savings certificates that make investment affordable with their low balance requirements, and they often pay higher rates of return than other savings account options. Dividend rates are fixed for your term, in most cases, and you can withdraw dividends at any time without penalty (as long as you’re not withdrawing your principal).

To open a share certificate at Nusenda Credit Union, the minimum balance is $1,000, or $500 for an IRA Certificate. Terms range from 90 days to 5 years and accommodate a variety of financial plans. Bump Rate Certificates are available in 18-month and 36-month terms and provide flexibility to “bump up” the rate of your certificate once if rates rise during your term. You can also deposit additional funds to your certificate at that time. Want to earn even higher interest rates? Try a tiered certificate on a 36-month, 48-month, or 60-month term.
