For those of you who hate to commit, Y-12 Federal Credit Union (Y-12 FCU) has added a 65-day Share Certificate (2.00% APY) to its product line. The minimum opening deposit is $500, with no balance cap.

While Y-12 FCU’s other Share Certificates have tiered APY levels based on deposit balances, the 65-day Share Certificate’s 2.00% APY applies to all balance levels.

The 65-day Share Certificate is also available as an IRA (Traditional and Roth), earning the same APY with the same funding requirements.

Y-12 FCU offers bonus points on its Share Certificates through its Member Rewards program. The requirements for each level of the Member Rewards program are based on a variety of combinations of checking account relationship, debit card activity, direct deposit, payroll deductions, and deposit and loan balances.

  • Pinnacle – additional 20 basis points
  • Premium – additional 15 basis points
  • Preferred – additional 10 basis points

According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty is all the dividends earned, and the Share Certificate will be closed upon withdrawal.
