Common Questions About Certificate Accounts (FAQs)
A Share Certificate Account is a type of savings account offered by Sound Credit Union. It allows you to earn a higher interest rate by depositing a fixed amount of money for a specific period of time, typically ranging from 3 months to 5 years.
Unlike a regular savings account, a share certificate typically offers a higher interest rate in exchange for locking in your money for a fixed term.
The key benefits of a Share Certificate Account include higher interest rates, security of your funds, and a guaranteed return on your investment. It’s an excellent option if you don’t need immediate access to your money and want to earn more on your savings.
