Forget about it. It grows when you're not looking.

UFirst understands that our members have different needs when it comes to saving. Some prefer short-term maturity while others prefer to take advantage of the higher dividends by depositing funds for a longer term. A Share Certificate gives you the freedom to build up savings on your terms all while saving for what’s most important to you.

Savings Builder Certificate

Pay yourself first! It’s an important money habit to have, but not an easy one to live by. To pay yourself first does not mean spending money on yourself, it means saving before you do anything else. This is often hard to do after paying your bills and groceries. Often times there’s not enough left to add to savings. The Savings Builder Certificate is specifically designed to help you start small and save in smaller increments. Plus, it’s all done automatically with direct deposit of your paycheck, so you don’t even miss it. Before you know it, you'll have enough saved to pay off debt, take a vacation or use for other expenses. Why not start one today?!
