COLLEGE SAVER SHARE CERTIFICATE

Our College Saver Share Certificate works well if you're new to investing (or not comfortable with it), or your children are only a few years from college. It's like a bank Certificate of Deposit (CD); you put money away for a period of time, and in exchange for leaving it untouched, earn a higher rate than traditional savings.

You'll earn a dependable 4.30% APY, fixed for each 12-month term.¹

Family members — or even the student themselves — can open one and making contributions at any time, making it also a great way to involve your kids in their own college savings.

How it works

Open one with as little as $200.
Make unlimited deposits at any time.
Renew it every 12 months until the student reaches age 18.
Rest assured your savings are safe because they're federally insured up to $250,000.
Use a College Saver Share Certificate alone or in addition to other college savings.

How to qualify

Be a minor (17 years old or younger).
