Certificates of Deposit
YOU CAN EARN MORE WITH MEMBERS FIRST CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT.
Members First Credit Union of Florida Certificates of Deposit (CD) are the way to go when you have money to put aside and won’t need to access it for a while. We’re excited to help you experience safe and guaranteed growth on those savings.
You have your choice of a short-term or long-term investment that will pay out higher dividend rates than a savings account. You will earn interest monthly, which we can either post to your CD, deposit into a specified account or mail to you as an interest check.
A minimum deposit is only $500.00, and your CD’s maturity date can range from 30 days to 10 years*. If you choose a maturity of 24 months or longer, it will become a No Penalty CD, meaning you can convert the current rate to a higher rate once during the life of the CD.
Here are a few of the other CD options available.
