One way MSGCU gives back to our members is through competitive rates, and our Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are a great way to earn higher interest on savings you don’t need immediate access to. CD terms from six months to five years are available and the interest rate is guaranteed, making them a risk-free way to save.
We are always here to help our members create a plan to reach their savings goals, and we encourage you to contact us if you’d like some guidance on selecting the right CD for you.
