Share Certificates
Certificates are a sound and safe investment option, offering competitive earnings and a guaranteed rate of return.
Flexible terms from three months to 60 months are available, which could allow multiple options to set up ladders to meet your financial goals. Ladders are a way of dividing your investments into certificates with different maturity dates – this is usually done in equal amounts. This strategy reduces both the dividend rate and re-investment risks.
Calculate certificate earnings
A minimum balance is required to open a certificate account. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. Fees may reduce earnings on the account.
This savings account represents your membership share in this not-for-profit financial cooperative, which makes you a member-owner of Thrivent Credit Union. TCU funds the initial $1 required for membership, and then you must maintain at least the par value of one share ($1) in the credit union.
- $25 minimum balance to earn dividends.
- ATM access with a checking account as your primary account.
14 The TFCU Membership account is a requirement for membership in Thrivent Credit Union. To maintain membership a par value of one share ($1.00) must be kept in the account at all times. If you fall below the par value you have six months to increase the balance or your membership may be terminated.
