Is It Like a Certificate of Deposit or CD?

Pearl Hawaii’s Certificates are similar to a Certificate of Deposit (CD) and allow your money to earn money.

Like a Certificate of Deposit (CD), Pearl Hawaii’s Certificates earn dividends on a lump sum for a fixed period of time. They are different than savings accounts because the money must remain untouched for the entirety of their term or risk penalty fees or lost dividends. Typically, certificates have higher dividend rates than savings accounts as an incentive for lost liquidity.
 
What’s the Difference Between a Certificate and A Certificate of Deposit (CD)?

Both types of accounts work the same way providing a fixed return when funds are invested for a specified amount of time. Credit unions, like Pearl Hawaii, call the account a Certificate while banks call the account a Certificate of Deposit (CD).

Savings You Can Count On

The Certificate Renewal form is for existing Pearl Hawaii members. If you are not a member, you can get started by opening an account online.
 
Your certificate will be maturing soon and may automatically renew for the same maturity term at the rate in effect at the time of maturity. This certificate will be subject to dividend compounding. The annual percentage yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. Dividends will be compounded and credited monthly. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.
 
Rates are subject to change at any time. If you choose to renew your certificate, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield (APY) that will apply have not yet been determined. Please call Pearl Hawaii at 808.737.4328 (73.PHFCU) to inquire about the APY applicable to your certificate.
