Savings & Checking

Certificates

A high-yield savings option with a guaranteed fixed rate of return. Your rate is locked in when it is opened – eliminating the volatility inherent in other investments.

  • Increase your certificate rate by 0.25% with direct deposit or a monthly reoccurring payment of $1,000 or more to a qualified deposit account.
  • Generally earn greater dividends than any other deposit products.
  • Available in terms of 3, 6, 7, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 60 months.
  • Deposit requirements start as low as $500. Deposits of $10,000 or more earn an even higher yield.
  • All certificates are also available as Traditional or Roth IRAs (except the 12 month Jumbo)

Express Funds Privilege — NIHFCU certificate holders can now enjoy the convenience of immediate check fund availability with our new Express Funds Privilege program. With this program, members can avoid a check hold on checks with amounts equal to or less than half of their current NIHFCU certificate balance.* For example, if you have a $10,000 certificate, Express Fund Privilege would allow you to avoid check holds on any check you deposit at NIHFCU up to $5,000.

*Maximum Express Funds Privilege is $50,000. Program subject to change without notice. Other restrictions apply.
