You Set the Term, You Decide What Dividends You Earn.

Like a CD, a fixed-rate Share Certificate is a type of savings product that earns a set annual percentage yield (APY) rate over its entire term. This means that you, as an MCU member, can expect to earn consistent dividends for the period of time (or “term”) that you agree to keep money with us.

FAQs

Can I be sure that my deposits are safe?

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insures MCU deposits, so you can trust that your funds are safe. The NCUA is an independent federal agency that insures deposits at federally insured credit unions, protects the members who own credit unions, and charters and regulates federal credit unions. Your savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) provides federal production to IRAs up to $1 million (some restrictions may apply depending on roll-over status and uniquely unqualified accounts).

Where can I find MCU branches and fee-free ATMs?

Check out our page featuring all of our branches and ATMs. Choose from any of our 15 locations, and search for various fee-free ATM options.

Are my deposits insured?

Your savings are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. Government Agency. Savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.

What happens if I need the money in my Share Certificate Account before the term is up?

You may access the money in your Share Certificate Account before the term is officially up, but there will be an early-withdrawal penalty.

Can I extend my Share Certificate term for another investment once my term is up?

Yes, unless instructed otherwise, your Share Certificate will automatically renew at maturity. However, there will be a grace period in which you may access your funds if needed.

*APY = Annual Percentage Yield
The APY is accurate as of 7/15/25.
12 Months – $5k New Money Share Certificate: You may be eligible for a 0.50% 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 Months – $5K New Money Share Certificate account or renew an existing 12 Months Share Certificate account in-person at one of our branches or through our mail-in renewal process. You must also deposit a minimum of $5,000 of New Money into the Share Certificate account at the time of opening or renewing. "New Money" is defined as funds that are not on deposit in any MCU account. Any funds that you want to deposit in addition to the $5,000 of New Money may come from accounts you currently have with us and those additional funds will earn the stated APY. The 12 Months – $5K New Money Share Certificate account is not offered through our Digital Banking platform and the 12 Months Share Certificate cannot be renewed into a 12Months – $5K New Money Share Certificate through our Digital Banking platform. The account will automatically renew into the 12 Months – Share Certificate and will be subject to the Dividend Rate, APY, and other terms and conditions of the 12 Months – Share Certificate in effect at the time of renewal unless the account is closed prior to maturity or during the ten (10) day renewal grace period or the eligibility requirements of the 12 Months – $5K New Money Share Certificate at satisfied during the ten (10) day renewal grace period. An early withdrawal penalty will apply if the account is closed prior to maturity.
