Certificate Account FAQs

Is my money safe?
Yes. All Service CU certificates are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000.
Are these available as IRAs?
Yes. Many of our certificates are available as IRA certificates.
What happens if I withdraw early?
Early withdrawals are subject to penalties that may reduce earnings. We recommend committing funds you won’t need access to immediately.
What is a share certificate?
A share certificate is a type of high-rate savings account with a fixed term. In exchange for placing funds into a certificate for the selected term, you earn a higher percentage yield on those funds.
*Rates shown are Annual Percentage Yields (APY), accurate as of 07/01/2025, and subject to change without notice as determined by the Board of Directors. Minimum deposit of $500 required. Penalty for early withdrawal. The APY is based on the assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. Withdrawal or fee will reduce earnings. Certificates are fixed-rate accounts and will remain in effect until maturity. Must be a member of Service Credit Union or establish membership with $5 in a Primary Savings Account.
