Put Your Money to Work with St. Thomas FCU Certificates

When you want your savings to earn more, a Share Certificate is a simple, steady way to grow your money. You deposit a set amount for a set amount of time, and in return you receive a fixed dividend rate for that entire term. Because we’re a credit union, this is your money working within a cooperative you own! Shares that pay you back while you let them sit and grow.

Today’s Dividend Snapshot

Shares & Clubs

We pay dividends monthly and compound daily. Dividend rates are based on the credit union’s earnings and aren’t guaranteed.

Certificates

Certificate rates vary by term and change over time. Call or visit us for today’s Certificate offerings and we’ll help you choose a term that fits your goal.

APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Dividends may change after account opening on variable-rate accounts (Shares & Clubs). Early withdrawal penalties may reduce earnings on Certificates.

In everyday terms:

A Share Certificate is similar to a Certificate of Deposit at a traditional bank. But at STTFCU, it comes with the benefits of member ownership.

STTFCU Certificate FAQ

It’s a time-deposit account. You deposit funds for a set term (for example, several months or longer) and earn a fixed dividend rate for that term. It’s a great choice when you don’t need the money right away and want predictable growth.

Share (Savings): This is a flexible account. Deposit and withdraw as needed; the rate can change.
Certificate: This account is more “set it and forget it.” Your money stays put for the term; the rate is fixed and typically higher than regular savings.

Minimums can vary by Certificate term. Stop by or call and we’ll share today’s options and opening amounts.

Most Certificates don’t allow additional deposits during the term. If you’ll want to add steadily, ask us about opening multiple Certificates or pairing a Certificate with a Share (Savings) account and scheduling transfers.

You can request an early withdrawal, but early-withdrawal penalties generally apply and may reduce earnings and/or principal. We’ll explain the exact penalty before you decide.

The term (e.g., a number of months) is chosen at account opening. When the Certificate matures, you can renew into a new Certificate (often automatically unless you tell us otherwise), or transfer the funds to your Share (Savings) or Share Draft (Checking).

Dividends are credited according to the Certificate’s terms (e.g., monthly or at maturity). We can help you choose the option that best fits your plan.

Yes. Deposits at STTFCU are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000 per depositor, per institution.

Consider building what we call a “Certificate Ladder.” That’s where you open multiple Certificates with staggered maturities so dividends are paid on a schedule (e.g., every few months).

Transfer from your STTFCU accounts, bring funds to the branch or move money from another institution. We make it simple for you!
