If you’re looking for a faster way to grow your savings – without the risk of investing – a certificate might be the right move. (A share certificate is the same as a bank certificate of deposit or CD.)
Certificates allow you to plan out your savings by providing guaranteed returns that you can access on a set maturity date. And generally, the longer the term, the more you’ll earn.
With a variety of terms and competitive rates, Redstone’s certificates are a smart way for you to ensure your money grows. Choose from regular certificates, jumbo certificates, or Member’s Choice Certificates that allow you to change your rate any time after the first 90 days and then once every 365 days thereafter.

Regular certificates and Member's Choice Certificates both require a minimum balance of $1000 to open. Jumbo certificates require a minimum balance of $100,000 to open.
Compounding: Dividends are added to the principal and accrue as the certificate matures.
Non-Compounding: Dividends are deposited into your primary savings account monthly or quarterly, so you have access to the earnings.
Compounding: Ideal for members who want to invest and have their dividends go right back into the certificate and keep earning dividends.
Non-Compounding: Ideal for members who want to invest but need access to cash throughout the certificate term.
Certificates do have penalties for early withdrawals. However, if you only need access to the dividends you earn, consider opening a certificate with non-compounding dividends. However, if you need greater access to your money, you may want to consider another option, like a Money Market Account.
You can save worry-free with our Member’s Choice Certificates, which offer you the potential to earn higher dividends during your certificate’s term. You can lock in a new rate any time after the first 90 days and then once every 365 days thereafter. So, if the rates rise, your earnings can too. (Unfortunately, you can’t change rates on a regular or jumbo certificate.)
Certificate Laddering is a way to boost your savings and still have frequent access to your cash. Certificate laddering is a technique that involves dividing your investment across two, three, or more certificates. It typically brings you higher dividends than investing in only one certificate renewed over time.
You create your ladder consisting of several certificates, each with a different rate and term. When a certificate matures, you can reinvest your money — buy a new certificate at the longest term — but you also have the option to pull out your funds, if necessary.

Member’s Choice Certificates: After 90 days from the certificate opening date, members have the option to request to change the dividend rate to the current dividend rate applicable to the term for their certificate.
