Do you have an extra $1,000+ that you won't need to use soon? A certificate is the perfect way to use your money knowing you'll be earning top dollar. An Alliant Credit Union Certificate gives you an even better interest rate on your money than you would get in a savings account because we know that the money won’t be withdrawn for an extended period.
Certificates are often referred to as CDs, non-liquid accounts, or time deposits. Almost all banks offer certificates, but with an Alliant Credit Union Certificate, you'll get a rate of return that is far above industry averages.
A certificate is a very safe investment. Even if you need to withdraw the money before you expect, you won’t lose any of the principal that you invested.
You can plan for life's big moments by picking your maturity date from 12 months to 5 years. Alliant Credit Union Certificates offer top market dividend rates on the timetable you set.
Because bigger is better, we'll pay you even more if your certificate is for $25,000 or more (a.k.a. a "jumbo" certificate)!
Use our highly flexible certificates to generate even more savings by creating a certificate ladder.
You can choose to withdraw the dividends earned on the certificate. Dividend withdrawals may reduce earnings, but there are no penalties.
When you open your Alliant Credit Union Certificate, you'll choose a maturity date between 12-60 months. If you need to withdraw funds before the maturity date, you may incur an early withdrawal penalty. You will never lose principal after your certificate has been opened for more than seven days.
1-7 days: 7 days of dividends For 12-17 month term certificates: dividends earned for the number of days the certificate is open (up to max of 90 days of dividends) For 18-23 month term certificates: dividends earned for the number of days the certificate is open (up to max of 120 days of dividends) For 24-60 month term certificates: dividends earned for the number of days the certificate is open (up to max of 180 days of dividends)
There may be exceptions to early withdrawal penalties.

4/4/17 Alliant is one of the banks that keeps up with the competition, unlike other much larger but stingy banks such as BofA. Bank account interest rates have finally started creeping up and Alliant leads the pack! It is easy to do business online and am fortunate to have a local branch in the East Bay of San Francisco if ever needed. I easily transfer monies to & from other banks. My only complaint is phoning Customer Service after hours. If I need reliable answers I must wait to call during their business hours CST. Even then I occasionally find it necessary to call more than once to make sure the answers I receive are the same from one customer rep to another. Bottom line I am quite pleased I moved my monies to Alliant with a credit rating that keeps me worry-free.
Would like to see cd times going to 6 month options.
Alliant certificates are easy to open and monitor, and the interest is really good compared to banks.
