What exactly is a Term Certificate? It's what banks call a certificate of deposit. We're different than a bank, so we use a different term. An SF Fire Credit Union Term Certificate puts your business first; a certificate of deposit does not.

Our Term Certificates generally earn higher dividends than Tiered Savings Accounts, so if you can afford to lock up your money for a little while, this might be the account for your business. We'll keep it safe and sound, and, more importantly, make sure it grows.

Term Certificates have a required minimum deposit of $250.

*APY= Annual Percentage Yield. The APY is the effective annual rate of return and assumes that the funds will remain in the deposit account for a full 365 days. Interest rate for Term Certificates is fixed for the length of the term.

COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING OF DIVIDENDS
Dividends will be compounded daily and credited monthly and at maturity.

DIVIDEND COMPUTATION
Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day.

Fees or other conditions could reduce the earnings on the account. A penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity. If a penalty is applied, it will be: 

If the term of the account is less than one year, you will forfeit an amount equal to all dividends for 45 days on the amount withdrawn.

If the term of the account is one year or more, you will forfeit an amount equal to all dividends for 180 days on the amount withdrawn.

1 If the prevailing dividend rates for new 18-Month Bump Up Term Certificates go up during your 18-Month term, you may contact us once during the 18 months to increase your dividend rate to match that of new term certificates.
