Share Certificates

Share Certificates With Competitive Rates & Flexible Terms

A share certificate is a fixed-rate, short-term investment account that pays a higher rate of interest than a regular savings account. A fixed amount of money is placed in the account for a specific period of time, called a term. Account holders, in turn, receive a fixed amount of dividends at intervals along the way, with an option to renew at the end of the specific time. 

Why Is This The Best Investment For Me?

Beach Municipal FCU's Share Certificate features:

  • Four different Certificate options available, including as IRA investments.
  • Fixed dividend rates.
  • Competitive Annual Percentage Yields (APY).
  • Terms ranging from 91 days to 60 months. 
  • Minimum investment of $500.
  • Automatic renewal option at maturity so you never stop earning.

Share Certificate Benefits

A Share Certificate offers many potential benefits:

  • Guaranteed return on your investment.
  • Earn the higher rate for the entire term of the investment, even if rates drop.
  • Low minimum opening deposits make it easier to invest. 
  • Potential tax advantages.*
  • Federally insured by NCUA.

IRA Share Certificates | Details & Rates

An IRA Share Certificate combines the tax advantages of an IRA with the security of a Share Certificate. The rate of return on IRA Share Certificates is significantly higher than the IRA Share rate, and they also have the added benefit of dividends being paid back into the IRA account, which can be a tax advantage!
