Share Certificates

Share Certificates are perfect for members, who want to maximize their earnings by investing for a specific period of time. We offer Regular, IRA, and Youth Share Certificates with terms ranging from 6-60 months.

Individual Retirement Accounts

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) offer flexibility and tax advantages. They offer security and peace of mind for those members, who are less risk tolerant. We offer Traditional, Roth, Roth Conversion IRAs, and Coverdell Savings Plans.

Money Market

Money Market Accounts require a minimum balance of $2500 and allow up to 6 withdrawals a month. Currently, there are no share draft privileges associated with these accounts. There are no investment period restrictions, and you will earn a higher interest rate than a regular savings account.
