Is a Certificate the same thing as a Certificate of Deposit (CD)?

Yes! The accounts work the same way - allowing you to earn a fixed return on your money for a set amount of time. As a credit union, we call it a Certificate. Banks call it a Certificate of Deposit.

Speaking of credit union, you may be wondering what makes us different from a bank. (We're glad you asked!)

For more than 85 years, we have been improving the financial lives throughout the Upstate and Midlands of South Carolina. Instead of being governed by stockholders, our members have a vote and say in what we do! As a not-for-profit, we reinvest profits into programs that reward our members with higher returns, lower loan rates, and low-cost services.
