Time and money make a potent combination.
It doesn't take a huge commitment - as little as six months. But even a small amount of patience pays off with higher earnings than traditional savings accounts.
Almost everyone can use more money. But when do you really need it? In a few months? Next year? A ways down the road? That's the beauty of a Summit Credit Union Certificate. Whatever your goals, you can choose the savings term that fits best with your financial plans.
