The minimum balance requirement to open a certificate is $1,000. The interest rates and Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the certificates. Interest is compounded and paid monthly on all terms. The APYs are based on the assumption that interest will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of interest will reduce earnings. A substantial penalty applies to early withdrawal of principal before maturity. 

*At maturity, this certificate will automatically renew as a regular 24 month term at the rate in effect at that time. Once during the term, you may exchange this APY for the current APY in effect at that time. You may also add any amount to the balance at the same time.

**Minimum $300 to open. For Sand Dollar Savings Club (SDSC) members only. SDSC is designed for children 12 and younger.

Membership eligibility is required. 

Federally insured to at least  $250,000 (IRA accounts insured separately up to $250,000) by NCUA, an agency of the US Government.
