Deal Summary:

State Employee’s Credit Union offers several CD options with the highest earning option a 5 year certificate earning .5% APY. Interest is paid at on maturity date and minimum deposit is $250.

CD Options at STECU:

We have many more options for a certificate deposit at STECU. 4 years will net you .5% APY with a minimum deposit of $250 and interest paid at maturity.

30 months is offered at .4% with the same minimum $250 deposit.

STECU offers laddered certificates and a thorough explanation of their purpose. You can take the total sum you wish to invest and divide it by 5. Instead of buying one certificate of deposit, buy one for every year option available from 1 to 5. As your CDs start to mature, you can chose to convert them to five year certificates instead. You will end up owning several 5 year certificates with one expiring every year. Just notify us in the month before your CDs expire or we can just keep your cash building.

Without laddering, certificates of deposit are meant to be a no risk short or long term investment. Unlike investing in the stock  market, you are guaranteed a return while also helping a local business.

Eligibility

You’ll need to open a State Employee’s Credit Union membership with a savings or checking account to open your certificate of deposit. Better yet, your interest earned will deposit directly into your savings or checking.

Locations

STECU offers a vast number of locations within South Carolina – 273 locations to be exact, so we are ready to serve you regardless of where you are in the state.
