COLLEGE SAVER SHARE CERTIFICATE

When you open a Youth Membership, you're preparing your child for the future. Opening a high-yield College Saver Share Certificate is an easy next step to help them build a college fund or save for other significant expenses — without the risk of investing. 

You'll earn a dependable APY for each 12-month term.1 And unlike a standard share certificate, additional deposits can be made at any time for any amount. Use a College Saver Share Certificate alone or in addition to other college savings. 

How it works

  • Open with as little as $200.
  • Make unlimited deposits at any time — there's no maximum balance. 
  • Renew it every 12 months until the student reaches age 18.2
  • Savings are federally insured up to $250,000.3

How to qualify

  • Be a minor (17 years old or younger).
