As a cooperative owned and governed by their members, DNCU is giving back in a big way as part of their 65th Anniversary celebration. Their rates have gone up on share certificates and money market accounts. Since credit unions are member-owned, members are able to take advantage of higher rates on interest bearing accounts—and that can go a long way. A share certificate or a money market account can be a great way to earn interest while keeping your money at a local financial institution.
New Mexico families and individuals looking to grow their money for future retirement, college expenses, or for long-term financial stability can set up an account and deposit money in these share certificate accounts that pay higher dividend rates than standard deposit products such as share savings accounts and money market accounts. The main difference between a share certificate and savings or money market accounts is accessibility to your funds. All savings and money market accounts give members access to their money whenever they need it. A share certificate account requires the money to be held at the financial institution for a particular period, usually 6 months, 12 months, or 48 months. Keep in mind, you can withdraw funds from these accounts, but you might incur penalty fees—talk with your financial institution about your options.
With DNCU's 65th Anniversary Special, you get a 2.69% APY* on an 8-month term with a minimum of $10,000. Read the terms and conditions below. At the end of the maturity date, the money can be rolled over into a new share certificate at the current rate or moved to a money market account. The benefits are considerable and risk is minimal.
