For a limited time, members can earn a higher Annual Percentage Yield (APY) by locking in an 8-month Certificate of Deposit (CD) with DFCU! Take advantage of this limited-time personalized offer to boost your savings.

Start with a 3.50% Base Rate and get additional dividends based on your age:

  • Member's age in dividends (i.e., 44 years old gets 0.44% added)
  • Plus an additional 0.25% if member has or signs up for direct deposit
  • 44-year-old example: starting with a 3.50% base rate, adding 0.44 % added for the age of the member, additional 0.25% added for direct deposit = 4.19% APY

More details on this personalized offer:

  • Minimum amount needed to open: $1,000
  • Minimum age required to open: 18
  • New Money Only
  • No monthly fee; no annual fee
  • Use as collateral for a Certificate Secured Loan
  • Federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)

After your 8-month term CD:

  • The CD will default to DFCU's standard 6 month CD rate. Members can come in within the seven-day grace period after maturity to select a different term.
  • See DFCU's current CD Terms and Rates below.
