Rate, Maturity, and Deposits:
Dividend rates and APYs are fixed for the initial term based on the Rate Schedule. The minimum deposit to open a standard Share Certificate is $500.00, with variations for promotional terms (e.g., $250.00 for 18-Month Deposit Plus; $5,000.00 New Money for 12-Month Promotional). Additional deposits are generally prohibited except for specific terms like the 18-Month Deposit Plus and Secured Visa. New Money promotional rules require funds not currently on deposit with MCU or transferred within seven (7) days.
Dividends, Penalties, and Renewal:
Dividends compound and credit monthly using the Daily Balance Method. Early withdrawal penalties apply (90 days of dividends for 6/9-month terms; 180 days for 12-month and longer terms). Accounts automatically renew at maturity unless changed, backed by a ten (10) day grace period.
**12 Month Share Certificate – $5K New Money: 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 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. You must also deposit a minimum of $5,000 of New Money† into the Share Certificate account at the time of opening or renewing. 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 account will automatically renew into the 12 Month Share Certificate and will be subject to the Dividend Rate, APY, and other terms and conditions of the 12 Month 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 Month Share Certificate – $5K New Money at satisfied during the ten (10) day renewal grace period. An early withdrawal penalty will apply if the account is closed prior to maturity.
†“New Money” is defined as funds that are not on deposit in any MCU account at the time the account with the New Money requirement is opened. The New Money requirement may be satisfied by: (1) making a deposit of New Money directly into an account bearing a New Money requirement; or (2) making a deposit of New Money into a savings or checking account and transferring the New Money into the account bearing the New Money requirement within seven (7) days of the date of deposit. Funds transferred into an account bearing a New Money requirement from any MCU account after seven (7) days from the date of deposit will not be eligible to satisfy the New Money requirement.
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.
