^**12 Months – $5K New Money: You may be eligible for a 0.50 percentage-point increase on the current Dividend Rate on the 12 Months Share Certificate account if you meet certain eligibility requirements. To be eligible, you must open a 12 Month Share Certificate account or renew an existing 12 Month Share Certificate account in-person at one of our branches, through our Digital Banking platform, or through our mail-in renewal process.
