What is a Money Market Account?
A money market account is another savings account option. Money market accounts generally obtain higher interest than a standard savings account, providing you with more money when you save. Because of the higher interest rate that provides more money, a money market account usually requires a higher minimum balance.
Features of a Money Market Account
A money market account provides a higher dividend rate than a regular savings account, providing you with more money in your savings account.
Additionally, dividends compound daily for a money market account at Auburn Community FCU, providing you with a savings boost.
Rates are tiered so that the greater the amount in the money market account, the greater the dividend earned.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) from Auburn Community FCU
A Certificate of Deposit, commonly referred to as a CD, is similar to a savings account but has two major differences. First, a Certificate of Deposit (CD) is only open for a pre-determined amount of time. Second, Certificates of Deposit tend to have fixed interest rates.
Features of Our Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
One of the benefits of opening a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at Auburn Community FCU is that you may be able to earn a higher dividend rate, providing you with greater savings than a traditional savings account. This dividend rate is fixed at the rate that was established when the CD was opened.
These dividends are compounded daily and are placed in the Certificate of Deposit each quarter of the year. Dividends are also added to the account at the end of the account term, also known as the CD reaching maturity.
Getting your CD from Auburn Community FCU provides you with added financial flexibility, as dividends can be transferred to a share account. Funds can also be mailed to other Auburn Community FCU members from your CD in the form of a check.
Terms for Our Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
The minimum term for a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at Auburn Community FCU is 6 months, while the maximum term is 60 months. Prior to the term on your CD ending, Auburn Community FCU will send you a notice that your CD is approaching maturity.

Plan for the Future With a Coverdell Education Savings Account
An education can create more opportunities. College graduates make more money over a lifetime than people with lower education levels, according to the Los Angeles Times. Unfortunately, for many that higher education can come with a high price. Americans as a whole owe over $1 trillion dollars in total student loan debt. A Coverdell Education Savings Account, also formerly known as an Education IRA, makes it manageable to save for education costs.
What is a Coverdell Education Savings Account?
A Coverdell Education Savings Account is a form of savings account specifically for the purposes of saving for education expenses. Because this type of savings account is specifically for education costs, there are limits that apply.
Features of a Coverdell Education Savings Account
There are limits to how much can be contributed to a Coverdell Education Savings Account per year. However, contribution limits have recently increased, empowering families to save more for college, making it more affordable.
The maximum amount that can be added to a Coverdell Education Savings Account is $2,000 per child per year.
When college expenses become an immediate concern, funds from a Coverdell Education Savings Account can be withdrawn with no tax consequences. For withdrawals from a Coverdell Education Savings Account to be free of tax consequences, the withdrawal must be done to cover qualifying expenses, including:
- Eligible college costs
- Eligible trade school costs
- Public elementary and/or high school costs
- Private elementary and/or high school costs
