problem because you can step up to a higher rate.
If we advertise a higher rate for this certificate, you can request whatever rate is current, one time, any time
during the term of the certificate, and we'll apply it to the remaining term. Just let us know.
These 24-month Savings Certificates have a $1,000 minimum.

this first $5 represents your "share" of stock in the organization. While the share price never changes, you
do get dividends on all your savings accounts and certificates (minimum balances apply on some accounts),
and great rates on your loans.
