Don’t let your money sit without giving it a workout. Put it into one of our Share Certificates – where it will earn a higher interest rate for you.
You have the option to choose from a variety of certificates with terms ranging from 6 to 60 months with competitive high yields, guaranteed through the term of deposit. The minimum deposit is $1,000 and your funds are insured up to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration.
If you are looking for an option with less money upfront, try our Asset Builder Certificate.
AgFed is always here to assist you in building your savings - unlike other certificates that require a $1,000 minimum deposit, the 24-month Asset Builder can be opened with NO MINIMUM BALANCE. Once your certificate is open, deposits can be made at any time and in any amount by payroll deduction, mail or in person. Dividends are paid quarterly.
