What is the difference between a Share Certificate and Certificate of Deposit (CD)?
Share Certificates and a Certificate of Deposit are similar in the way they function. They both come with a fixed dividend rate that is higher than a traditional savings account and matures over a set term.
The major difference between the two is where you get them. Banks offer CDs, while credit unions offer Share Certificates. They're titled this way because when you open a share certificate, you are essentially purchasing a share of the credit union. Credit unions are owned by their members, which is why we’re able to offer higher returns on things like Share Certificates.
Frequently Asked Questions about Share Certificates
A Share Certificate is similar to a certificate of deposit (CD) at a bank. You commit your funds for a set term and your deposit grows at a locked in interest rate that is typically higher than a traditional savings account.
OneAZ Share Certificates are available in the following term options:
3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months
OneAZ has a $2,000 minimum to open a Share Certificate account.
Many Share Certificates contain minimum balance amounts to open and have a penalty for withdrawing funds early.
The OneAZ penalty for withdrawing the funds early will depend on the term of your share certificate. For more details, see the Schedule of Fees.
