Certificates

CertificatesBuild today for a secure tomorrow.

If stock market volatility makes you nervous, then consider Certificates of deposit, which offer a no risk guaranteed rate
of return.

Certificates are a wise choice and provide a fixed, guaranteed
rate of return.

If you're not sure how long to commit your money in a single Certificate, consider building a Certificate ladder. With this strategy, you can spread your money across several Certificates that have different terms or maturity dates and enjoy:   

  • The benefit of earning higher rates with longer terms
    •   
  • Access to your money each year when individual
          Certificates mature

    • If you had $10,000 to invest, here's how it could work:
    1. Put $2,000 each in five Certificates, with terms from 12 months through 60 months as follows:

    Term Amount
    12 month $2,000
    24 month $2,000
    36 month $2,000
    48 month $2,000
    60 month $2,000
    2. When each Certificate matures, reinvest it in a 60 month Certificate.
    3. Continue replacing the longest term, in this example the 60 month term, rolling over each Certificate as it matures unless your funds are needed for other purposes.

    • Highly competitive rates
    • Provides peace of mind with guaranteed rates of return
