Certificates

A Certificate is a low-risk investment option

A Certificate locks up your savings for a set period of time, and earns higher rates than a basic savings account. Small savers earn the same great rates as big depositors at Stanford FCU, and the longer your term, the higher your rate. Become a member first, then open your Certificate in Online or Mobile Banking.

Dividends are compounded and paid monthly. Once a Certificate is opened, the rate remains fixed through maturity. Early withdrawal penalties apply and may reduce earnings. The 7-Month No Penalty Certificate may be closed after seven (7) calendar days from opening with no penalty. Membership eligibility is required.
