UMe Certificate Accounts FAQ

There is absolutely no difference between all those terms. They all refer to the same thing—a UMe Certificate Account. No matter how you say it, it’s an excellent way to save for your future goals!

The minimum amount needed to open a deposit account at UMe depends on your selected CD option. Our regular Certificates require a $2,000 minimum deposit. You’ll need to deposit at least $50,000 to open a Jumbo Certificate. You also must maintain a $2,000 or $50,000 minimum balance throughout your chosen term.

Our certificate account annual percentage yields (APY) are typically higher than regular savings accounts. This means your money grows faster due to the higher interest rate and power of compounding interest. Investing in a certificate of deposit CD with us can significantly enhance your savings potential over time.

You will incur early withdrawal penalties if you withdraw your money before the term ends. Our friendly member service team can provide details about these fees and how they apply to your account. Please contact us for more information.

UMe stands out by offering CDs with competitive fixed interest rates that ensure a stable return. We’re dedicated to serving our members with secure savings growth, personalized financial services, and federally insured accounts for added peace of mind.
