What is a Certificate and How Do They Work?
Are you looking to invest your money but not sure what option is right for you? Consider a Certificate.
Certificates let you invest your money at a higher interest rate while ensuring your hard-earned cash is safe and secure.
A Share Certificate is quite simply a Certificate of Deposit (CD) issued by a credit union. The money you deposit will earn quarterly dividends at a higher interest rate. The only catch is your money must remain in your Certificate for a specified period of time. At WyHy, our Certificates range from terms of 6 months to 5 years.
There are many positive components to Certificates, oftentimes making them the wiser choice for members over other investment options.
- Certificates offer competitive rates that are secured for the term of your Certificate, meaning your dividend interest rates will stay the same the entire time!
- Certificates are insured by the NCUA’s National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund**, meaning your money is safe and secure.
- When your Certificate term is up, you can simply cash in the money, change the terms of the Certificate or renew it!
