Message From The Golden 1 Credit Union

A term savings certificate can help you reach your saving goals faster! You choose from available terms, all with a low minimum deposit. The longer the term, and the higher your deposit balance, the higher dividend rate you can earn! It's an excellent choice if you know how long you want to keep funds on deposit. Terms vary from 3 to 60 months. Dividends you earn each month can be added to the certificate balance or transferred to a different account without penalties. Federally insured by the NCUA.
