Term Share Accounts

Term Share Accounts offer you a guaranteed yield with flexible terms where you pick from a selection of maturities, and typically earn a higher yield for locking up your money for longer terms. They are ideal for people who don't need the use of their funds for a set period of time and who want to maximize the return on their investment.

On top of already competitive yields, Shell New Orleans FCU offers many ways to further increase the yields you earn on share certificates as follows:
  • Member Select participants earn a +.25% rate bonus over the normal rate for the term chosen.
  • Mini-jumbo Term Share Accounts with a balance over $50,000 earn a rate bonus of +.05% over the member select rate for the term chosen
  • Jumbo Term Share Accounts with a balance of $100,000 and greater earn a .10% rate bonus over the member select rate for the term chosen

There are many other features that we have built into our Term Share Accounts program to ensure that there is something for everyone, such as....

Low Minimum Balance... we require only $500 to open a Term Share Account to help those who are just starting to save get a head start

Flexible Terms... available for 6, 12 and 18 months, and 2, 3 and 5 years.

Avoid Withdrawal Penalties... if you need access to the funds prior to maturity, you can make a Pledged Share Loan for only 2% above the Term Share Account rate, avoiding the early withdrawal penalty.

Flexible Dividend Structure... you choose whether you want dividends to roll into the Term Share Account balance, to transfer to a savings or checking account, or to be mailed to you in a check each period.
