*APR = Annual Percentage Rate
*APY = Annual Percentage Yield
Share Certificates require a minimum balance of $500.00 to earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. For all accounts, the dividend rate and APY are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the account. The APY is based on an assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings. We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date. The amount of the early withdrawal penalty is based on the term of your account. Contact the Credit Union for more information.

Testimonials
"Everyone there is absolutely kind, polite and helpful. This is the place you go to and they treat you like family....instead of a stranger. Somebody mentioned the way they dress is too casual... that's ridiculous! The way you dress has nothing to do with how you treat people and what you can do for them. Anyhow, The RATES are amazing and they are just FAIR with everyone. If you need a Bank- Go to CACL in Pottsville."
-Douglas M.
"The employees are very friendly. Whenever I had a question or a problem that I needed help with they always are very helpful. I never had to wait for a reply on anything...they're very quick and thorough with their replies. CACL has great hours compared to other banks. No matter what department I needed to get ahold of, even if other customers were ahead of me they responded almost immediately. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I highly recommend CACL."
-Glenda K.
"The people of CACL are organized, prompt, to the point and if necessary, they go way out of their way to ensure my family's needs are met. I could not ask for a better banking experience."
-Doug C.
Share Certificate FAQs
| What’s the difference between a Credit Union Certificate and a CD? |
|---|
| A credit union certificate is a type of savings account offered by credit unions, whereas a CD is offered by banks. Credit union certificates are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and often offer more favorable terms, including a fixed interest rate and compounding dividends. Credit union certificates also typically offer more flexible term lengths. |
| What happens when my certificate term ends? |
| When your certificate term ends, you can withdraw your funds or roll them over into a new certificate account. If you choose to withdraw, you'll receive your principal plus the interest earned. You can also change the term length or type of certificate account to suit your needs. Additionally, you have a 10-day grace period after maturity to withdraw your funds without facing early withdrawal penalties. |
| What is a share certificate and how does it work? |
| A share certificate is a type of savings account that earns a fixed interest rate for a specific term length. Share certificates work by allowing you to deposit funds for a set period, earning interest on your principal. This type of account offers a higher interest rate than traditional savings accounts, and dividends are compounded and credited monthly. |
| Can I open a certificate account with any financial institution? |
| No, certificate accounts are exclusive to credit unions. They offer a type of savings account that is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This means your funds are protected and will earn a fixed interest rate. If you withdraw your funds early, you may face early withdrawal penalties, which vary depending on the term length of your account. |
