Certificates

Like a certificate of deposit (CD), a certificate offers a higher rate with guaranteed return for the term of the deposit.


Enjoy an Insured, Guaranteed Return on Your Money

A certificate, like a CD or Certificate of Deposit, lets you earn a fixed, higher interest rate than a traditional savings account for not making any withdrawals during the term of the certificate. The money is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for up to $250,000.

Certificate FAQs

Certificate Ladder Strategy

A common strategy for savers using share certificates or CDs is to divide the sum of money saved into equal amounts and open certificates with different maturing dates. This way you can take advantage of the higher rates on the longer terms while keeping some funds accessible for the near future.

  • Terms from 3 to 60 months
  • $250 minimum opening deposit and balance
  • Compounded dividends paid monthly
  • Guaranteed return on principal

1 APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Terms and conditions may vary by account.

2 All regular certificates can be opened as IRA certificates, unless otherwise noted. Minimum balance for all Certificates and IRA Certificates is $250.00.

3 APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are effective as of 12/06/2024 and are subject to change at any time. Certificate promotion interest rates vary depending on qualifications. 9-Month Certificate promotion has a premium rate of 4.05% APY and standard rate of 3.55% APY (Dividends paid monthly); 14-Month Certificate promotion has a premium rate of 3.90% APY and standard rate of 3.40% APY (Dividends paid monthly); 23-Month Certificate promotion has a premium rate of 3.65% APY and standard rate of 3.15% APY (Dividends paid monthly). In order to obtain the high premium rate for either Certificate promotional term, you must meet at least one of the following criteria: Tenure of 10+ years as of 12/31/2024, OR a checking account (under the same membership) prior to Certificate opening with a total recurring monthly deposit of $500 or more. If the checking account criteria is not met at any time, the rate will be reduced to the lower standard rate and will not be reinstated thereafter. Qualifying deposit transactions include: Payroll direct deposits, Social Security (or other government benefit) direct deposits, ACH transfers, Zelle®, Venmo, PayPal or other similar deposits, cash deposits, check deposits (except checks written from another Patelco account), wire transfers, multiple deposits (of the types listed here) that add up to at least $500 in a calendar month. Qualifying deposit transactions do not include Patelco account-to-Patelco account transfers, chargebacks or promotional incentive payments from Patelco. All certificates are subject to an early withdrawal penalty. For IRA Certificates, the early withdrawal penalty is waived if the IRA owner is age 59½ years or older. Fees could reduce earnings. Please see the Certificate Accounts section in the Patelco Member Handbook.

4 There is a penalty for early withdrawal for all Certificates. Please see the Certificate Accounts section in the Patelco Member Handbook.
