Enjoy higher dividend yields to meet your investment needs
If you have funds you are able to commit for a specific period of time, you can enjoy higher yield with the preferred rates our Share Certificate of Deposits offer.
Terms: Your community credit union offers Share Certificates for 3, 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. At the time of account opening, you may instruct the credit union to transfer principal and dividend earned to another account, or to liquidate the certificate at maturity. Unless otherwise instructed, Share Certificates may automatically renew at maturity into a new certificate for the same term at the current rate offered for that term. Your credit union will mail a notice as a reminder of the maturity date 30 days prior to maturity. Once the share certificate account is opened, you have 10 days to withdraw or close the account without penalty. After 10 days from account opening, no additional deposits may be added and no partial withdrawals can be made without penalty.
Minimum Deposit: The minimum deposit required to open a share certificate account is $500.00. Certificates may be opened for any amount greater than the minimum to open. $50,000.00 and $100,000.00 Share Certificates are also available at higher dividend rates.
Dividend Rates: The dividend rate is fixed for the term selected at account opening and will not fluctuate. Community First FCU rates are based on general market conditions and are monitored or adjusted monthly. Dividends are paid at maturity.
