Summer has a way of filling the calendar…and the budget. Whether you’re taking a family vacation, firing up the grill for backyard gatherings, tackling home projects or beginning to shop for back-to-school supplies, the season can bring plenty of extra expenses.
While it’s important to enjoy everything summer in Maine has to offer, it’s also a great time to think ahead. Setting aside money today can help prepare you for the months ahead while giving your savings the opportunity to grow.
That’s where Sebasticook Valley Federal Credit Union’s limited-time 9-Month Share Certificate comes in. A share certificate is similar to a certificate of deposit (CD) offered by banks. You deposit funds for a set period, earn a fixed rate of return and know exactly what your savings will earn over the term. Because the rate is locked in, your earnings won’t fluctuate during the certificate period.
And now, for a limited time, members can earn 4% APY (rate as of July 2026) on our 9-month Share Certificate, giving your savings a competitive return while keeping a relatively short timeline. The minimum deposit is $500, making it feasible to help your money work harder. Details and eligibility are available here.
Now is also an ideal time to think beyond today’s expenses. The holidays will be here before we know it and winter heating bills are just a few months away. Starting to save now can help reduce financial stress later.
No matter what your financial goals look like, even small decisions can make a meaningful difference over time. To learn more about Sebasticook Valley Federal Credit Union’s limited-time 9-Month Share Certificate or to speak with a member service representative, give us a call or stop by one of our branch locations. Don’t wait – this deal ends soon!
