Next Steps

Commonly Asked Questions

  • A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a type of savings account that holds a fixed amount of money for a set period of time, called the term, and earns a guaranteed interest rate. CDs typically offer higher returns than traditional savings accounts in exchange for leaving your money untouched until the maturity date.

  • The minimum deposit varies depending on the term and type of CD, but most CDs at Elevations Credit Union require as little as $500 to get started. Certain promotional CDs or long-term options may have different minimums, so be sure to check the specific terms.

  • Yes. All Elevations CDs are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to the applicable limits. This ensures your savings are protected while they grow. 

  • You can, but early withdrawals typically come with a penalty. Since CDs are designed for fixed-term savings, withdrawing funds before the maturity date may result in forfeited interest. Be sure to review your CD terms before opening to understand the early withdrawal conditions.

  • If you meet our membership eligibility requirements, you can open a CD. Membership is easy to establish and opens the door to all of our financial products and services. 

  • Opening a CD is simple. You can get started online, visit a local branch, or speak with a representative. We’ll help you choose the term, deposit amount, and ensure you’re maximizing your earnings.

  • A long-term certificate is a CD with a longer maturity period, typically 12 months or more. These CDs usually offer higher interest rates and are ideal for members who don’t need immediate access to their funds and want to maximize their earnings over time.
