Certificates

A certificate of deposit allows you to earn a higher dividend rate in return for leaving your funds on deposit for a specified period of time.

Choose a standard certificate and earn the same great rate throughout the term of the deposit, or take advantage of a bump rate certificate to "bump" the rate one time during the term of the CD. Saving with an IRA? Make the most of your wait with an IRA certificate.
