Five Star Share Certificates

By investing your funds for a committed time period, you’ll earn a higher rate with a Share Certificate than a Share Savings account.

  • Share Certificates are available for terms of 12, 30 and 48 months. Special Certificates may be available for different terms.
  • Earnings are paid using the Average Daily Balance method and are credited and compounded quarterly.* (Read more detailed dividend information on our Disclosures page.)
  • The minimum deposit is $500.
  • Open your Share Certificate in a credit union branch office.
  • Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Certificates are also available.
