Share Certificates

As high as 5.00% APY*
Set your own savings timeline.


Everyone has short-term and long-term financial goals. With Scient Share Certificates, you can pursue them all at the same time. Choose to save for a few months or five years - or somewhere in between. Whatever you decide, you'll benefit from interest earnings that are superior to typical savings rates.

  • Share Certificates are fixed-rate savings accounts
  • Terms available from 3 to 60 months
  • Guaranteed earnings, provided you don't withdraw funds before the end of the term
  • In general, longer terms pay higher interest rates
