Even when dividend rates are changing, RBFCU Certificates remain a good option. Share Certificates earn higher yields than standard savings accounts for a set term – from six months to seven years, so certificates offer the flexibility to meet your personal savings goals. Your dividends accumulate because you benefit from compound interest every month. And there’s low risk: your money is insured up to $250,000 per member!
