Putting them first since 2017
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 you 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 you. We'll keep it safe and sound, and, more importantly, make sure it grows.
To open an account, please give us a call, chat with us online, or visit us at a branch.
