Certificates
A CapEd Certificate is a great way to save and earn a higher dividend rate than other savings or checking accounts.
What is a Certificate?
A Certificate is a savings account that earns a higher dividend rate over time than a standard savings account. Generally, a certificate is used if you have money you want to stash away for months or years that you don't need to use in the immediate future. The money in the certificate account will earn dividends at a fixed rate while it sits there waiting for its maturity date.
Certificate Options
CapEd offers three primary certificate options:
Share Certificates
With as little as $500, members can invest in a fixed rate share certificate and maximize their earnings. A minimum balance of $500 is required with terms of 6 to 60 months available.
Smart Step Certificates
A Smart Step Certificate can be opened by or for members under age 25. A minimum deposit of $25 is all that is required for a Smart Step Certificate. 6 month and 12 month options are available.
