APY(1)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.


No Matter Where You Are in Life, We’re Right There with You.

That’s why we have specialized recommendations for products and services designed to help you meet your goals (both short-term and down the road), based on your changing needs and priorities.
