What are Blue FCU High Yield Certificates?
These fixed-term savings products are designed for people who want higher yields than traditional savings accounts, without long-term commitments.
With minimum deposits as low as $1, these certificates allow you to lock in a competitive APY, and in the case of the 9-month option, enjoy penalty-free early withdrawals.
All deposits are NCUA insured up to $250,000 and managed through Raisin’s online platform.
