Why not get the most out of your share certificate?

Bump up Certificates offer the opportunity to increase your dividend rate during the 30-month term. This option applies if dividend rates on our 30-month certificate has increased.

You’ll need a $500 or more initial deposit to open the certificate. You’ll then need to maintain a minimum balance to earn the APY on the funds.

And with a 30-month term, your funds will be available to withdraw at maturity before you know it!
