High-Yield Share Certificates from CommStar Credit Union
Looking for a low-risk way to make your money work harder? Our Share Certificates—also known as Certificates of Deposit (CDs)—offer guaranteed returns and peace of mind, no matter what the stock market is doing.
What Is a Share Certificate?
A share certificate is a type of savings account with a fixed interest rate and a set term—you choose how long to keep your money deposited, and in return, you earn a higher yield than a regular savings account.
Unlike other investments, your return is guaranteed and your deposit is insured through American Share Insurance and Excess Share Insurance, up to $500,000 per account.
Why choose a Share Certificate?
✔ Guaranteed returns
✔ No market volatility
✔ Higher rates
✔ Safe, secure, insured
✔ Set it and forget it
Whether you’re planning for retirement or just looking to earn a little more on your savings, a share certificate is a smart, stable choice.
