CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS (CDs)
One way to work toward a short-term financial goal is by using a Certificate of Deposit (CD), which are offered through NWFCU.
A CD is cash that you deposit at your credit union or other financial institution that carries a fixed interest rate and a set maturity date (if redeemed prior to maturity, a penalty may apply). A typical CD term is 6 months to one year and CDs can be automatically renewed.
Rates on CDs are generally higher than the typical savings and Money Market rates offered by local financial institutions, so your money is working for you while being held in deposit. Certificates of Deposit are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) or FDIC up to $100,000.
CDs offered through NWFCU often offer a slightly higher interest rate than those offered by banks.
NWFCU offers products and services that can help you achieve your short-term goals.
