We Can Help Your Money Grow Faster

If you’re looking to earn a better rate on your deposit, a share certificate from American First Credit Union is a great option. With rates that offer a better return than traditional savings accounts and only a $1,000 minimum deposit, share certificates also give you control over the length of your term.

  • It takes less than 5 minutes to open
  • Only $1,000 minimum deposit to open
  • Terms range from 3 months to 5 years
  • Open your Traditional, Roth, or Coverdell IRA as a Certificate Account
  • Other financial institutions compound interest monthly, but you'll be earning more with your high-interest rate compounded daily
  • Your funds are federally insured up to $250,000 by NCUA
  • You can borrow against your secured funds as a Certificate Secured Loan
