Certificate Accounts

  • $2,500 minimum deposit
  • 6-month, 1-year and 2-year terms
  • Deposits are insured up to $250,000 by National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)
  • Certificate rates are fixed for the duration of term
  • Dividends are paid monthly and at maturity
  • Choose from three ways to manage your dividends:
    1. add dividends to your certificate-account principal
    2. automatically transfer dividends to your Star One checking and savings
    3. mail dividends to your home

* A Certificate Account (or "Share Certificate Account") is similar to a Certificate of Deposit (CD), but it is issued by a credit union, rather than a bank.

** Annual Percentage Yield

✝ Calculated earnings are estimates only and may vary slightly from those quoted due to rounding. If funds are withdrawn before maturity, earnings will be reduced and an early-withdrawal penalty may be imposed.

Scam and Fraud Alert

Several Star One members reported receiving a phone call or text from a person claiming to be from Star One's fraud department with a caller ID reflecting 866-543-5202.

The caller is impersonating a Star One employee to gain your trust with the goal of getting access to your account.

The caller may try to reassure you that it's OK to share your information—please hang up, it's not OK, EVER!
