“Looking at a local bank in Rockland County to do some banking with great rates, I’m so glad we stopped into the Palisades Credit Union. We dealt with Ellen who is top tier in the banking world! She was professional, gave an accurate timeline on what to expect and made our process pain free. It’s a small & clean branch with helpful people. It’s important to feel good about where you bank, and this bank checks off all the boxes.”

New Money Certificate Account FAQs
Common questions about our certificate accounts.
What is a certificate account?
A certificate account, sometimes called a certificate of deposit (CD) or simply certificate, is a type of savings account with a fixed term and a fixed interest rate. It typically offers higher returns than a regular savings account in exchange for leaving your money untouched for a set period.
What counts as “new money”?
New money refers to any funds that are new to Palisades CU, such as deposits from another bank or credit union. Transfers between your existing Palisades CU accounts don’t qualify.
What are the minimum deposit requirements?
Our certificates require a $500 minimum deposit.
Would my certificate account be insured?
Absolutely. Certificate accounts are insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) for up to $250,000.
What happens when the term is up?
Once your certificate matures, you can renew it for another term, withdraw the funds, or transfer your money to another account!
