Share Certificates

Watch your savings grow, with a market leading rate! Invest in a Share Certificate available in terms ranging from 6 months to 60 months for as little as $500*. Dividends are paid monthly and may be compounded or transferred to one of your EFCU Financial accounts.

For your convenience, renewal is easy and automatic. You will be notified in writing of your certificate’s upcoming maturity two weeks prior to the maturity date. Your certificate will automatically renew at the prevailing rate if we do not hear from you within 10 days of maturity.

EFCU Financial offers Excess Share Insurance (ESI) to protect your Share Certificate beyond the standard NCUA coverage. Your deposits can be insured up to $750,000 with ESI, which gives you peace of mind about the safety of your savings.
