Earn and save with a Regular Share Savings Account! Membership at Professional Fire Fighters Credit Union begins with a Share Savings Account. A Share Savings Account allows you to deposit as much money as you like but you can open one with as little as $10.00.
It’s never too early to teach children the importance of saving money. Opening a Young Savers account can help develop early savings habits which will help them their entire lives. When the child reaches the age of 18 it will automatically be converted to a Regular Share Savings Account.
A Young Savers Account establishes an individual’s membership for those 18 and under at the credit union. Professional Fire Fighters offers lifetime membership: once a member, always a member, as long as your account is not closed.
If you're looking for a safe, long-term investment strategy, a Share Certificate is a great place to start. With all the ups and downs on the stock market, it's reassuring to know that a Professional Fire Fighters Certificate Account will never lose its original value. The dividend-earning rate is higher than a standard savings account and the terms are flexible: from 30 days up to three years. Your minimum deposit of $10,000.00 will get you started earning interest today.
Terms - The minimum term for a Share Certificate is 1 month and the maximum term is 36 months.
Rates - The minimum deposit to open a certificate is $10,000.00. Certificates amounts over $25,000 are considered Jumbo Certificates and will receive an additional .25% rate.
Penalty - Prior to the maturity of the certificate the member will receive a renewal notice. The member may choose to let the certificate renew at the current term or they can choose another avenue. If the member chooses a different option they have 10 days after the maturity to do so without penalties being accessed. Special Certificate offers may not be renewable.
