Both Certificates and CDs work the same way providing a fixed return when funds are invested for a specified amount of time. The difference is that credit unions call the account a Certificate and banks call the account a Certificate of Deposit (CD). 

A certificate is an investment option that provides a fixed rate for a specific period. The funds cannot be withdrawn during the certificate term without paying a penalty.  Certificates are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000.

Certificate accounts have no fees. If you withdraw funds before the maturity date, you may incur an early withdrawal penalty.

Early Withdrawal Penalty Details. We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal of the Certificate Account before the maturity date.

1) Amount of Penalty. The penalty is based on the term of the certificate. For certificates with terms of one year or less, the penalty is equal to 90 days' dividends on the amount withdrawn. For certificates with terms of longer than one year, the penalty will equal 180 days' dividends on the amount withdrawn.

2) How the Penalty Works. The penalty is calculated on the amount of early withdrawal. The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividends have already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.

3) Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties. At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances: when an owner on an account dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction. Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within seven (7) days after establishment or where the account is an IRA and the owner attains age 59½ or becomes disabled and begins making periodic withdrawals.
