When you’re able to set money aside for a few months or a few years, a GenFed Certificate is a great way to save money and earn the highest possible interest rates with no risk.
We offer several types of certificates:
With any certificate type, you’ll have the option to choose whether your dividends are compounded internally, paid by check, or deposited to one of your other GenFed accounts.
If you’d like to open a certificate, but don’t have enough saved for the required opening deposit, you can open a GenFed Accumulator Savings account to help you set aside funds.
