Dream Plan Share Certificate
If you can dream it, we want to help make it a reality. Our Dream Plan share certificates* offer a smart way to start saving for your dreams without having to invest a large amount of money at one time. Start small and save for your dream with deposits each month. Start your Dream Plan with a $25 initial deposit, then contribute at least $25 each month. Benefits include:
- Premium dividend rate for 60 months
- No penalty for early withdrawal if funds are used as a down payment on a home financed with the Credit Union
- Maximum balance of $50,000
Share Certificate
Earn higher dividends than a regular share account by investing as little as $1,000 into a share certificate.
Certificate terms range from 6 to 60 months.* When the share certificate matures at the end of the term, you can choose to do nothing and let the certificate automatically renew at the Credit Union rate at time of maturity. You can also deposit the funds in another account or withdraw them.
Share Certificate Ladder
Maximize your earnings and get the best of both worlds by opening a share certificate ladder.* The concept is simple: The longer the term, the higher the return. You create your ladder consisting of several share certificates, each with a different rate and maturity. When a certificate matures, you should reinvest your money — buy a new certificate at the longest term — but you also have the option to pull out your funds if necessary. See our blog for additional information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Savings accounts have more flexibility and allow you to deposit and withdrawal funds, typically without limitation. Share certificates are available for various terms, and during that term, you earn a fixed interest rate, which is usually higher than a savings account. You can't deposit (with the exception of the Dream Plan) or withdraw funds during the term without being penalized.
There are several options when a certificate matures, including letting it automatically renew or cashing it out. See our blog for more details on what to expect when your certificate matures.
Rates tend to change with the economy, so there’s not a certain term that always pays higher. You can visit our Rates page to see the current rates available for all our deposit products.
Laddering is a simple investment technique that involves dividing your investment across two, three or more share certificates. It typically brings you higher dividends than investing in only one share certificate renewed over time.
We offer a two-rung ladder for 30 and 60 months; a three-rung ladder for 12, 24 and 36 months and a five-rung ladder for 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months.
Laddering limits your investment risk and is flexible. Since you’re reinvesting a portion of your money regularly, you’re less likely to suffer from dividend rate fluctuations. Plus, you structure your ladder to meet your needs, so you have funds available when you may need them.

Rainy Day Fund
We all know the importance of saving for a rainy day, but what if you’re caught in a downpour without an umbrella? (Thanks, COVID-19!) It’s never too late to create an emergency fund.
