What is a WSECU Share Certificate?

A Share Certificate at WSECU is similar to a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at a bank. It offers a guaranteed, fixed interest rate for a specific term length. Because you agree to leave your money in the account for that period (usually 6 months to 5 years), you typically earn a higher rate than a regular savings account.

Why Choose a Share Certificate?

Share certificates are ideal for low-risk growth.

  • Guaranteed Returns: The rate is locked in. If market rates drop, yours stays high.
  • Safety: Funds are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000.
  • Better Rates: Generally earn significantly more than checking or storage savings accounts.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your Deposit Amount and the APY advertised by WSECU. Set the Term (Years) to match the certificate length (e.g., enter 1.5 for an 18-month certificate). The calculator will show you exactly how much your money will grow by the maturity date.

Note on Penalties:
Share certificates are designed to be held until maturity. Withdrawing funds early usually results in an "Early Withdrawal Penalty" (often 90 to 180 days of interest).
