Funds to open Share Certificate at the special rate can either be monies from another financial institution or from your existing Maui County FCU account. Limit of one special Share Certificate type per member with a minimum $5,000 opening deposit and a maximum of $20,000. Dividend is deposited monthly into the Share Certificate special account or other deposit account.
The short answer, not a lot. Share certificates and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are savings products that earn interest on a lump sum for a fixed period of time. They differ from savings accounts because the money must remain untouched for the entirety of their term or risk penalty fees or lost interest. Generally, the longer the term of a share certificate or CD, the higher the interest rate you'll receive. Both usually come with early withdrawal penalties if you take your money out before your term is complete, which can eat into your earnings.
The main difference between share certificates and certificates of deposit is that share certificates are issued by credit unions, while certificates of deposit are issued by banks. Share certificates are guaranteed by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, while the FDIC insures CDs at banks.
