Enjoy 4.00% APY* with our New 2-mo. Share Certificate!

Man, Woman and Dog on Sofa Looking at Laptop

ITCU members are enjoying some of the best rates in more than a decade, with our share certificates of deposit (CDs) offering something for everyone, ranging from 3- to 60-month terms. But what about those who may be concerned with locking into longer terms which limits the opportunity to take advantage of rising rates? Or those who don’t particularly enjoy monitoring rates and the hassle of opening new CDs to get them? Wouldn’t it be great to avoid those issues and just “set it and forget it?”

For those members, ITCU has you covered with the new Cash!n CD! This 2-mo. CD provides members the opportunity to enjoy a short-term CD and a great rate:

  • Cash!n CDs can be opened for as little as $1,000.00, for member and business accounts alike.
  • The 2-mo. term ensures no long-term commitments are necessary, allowing members the chance to take advantage of rate changes that much quicker.
  • With auto-renew activated, you can take a break from constantly monitoring other rates and let your Cash!n CD get the then-current rate when the 2-mo. term is up.
  • If you need to withdraw your funds, the Cash!n CD only charges a 15-day dividend penalty. (Other CDs typically carry a much larger penalty.)

For anyone who has ever second-guessed themselves on the possibility of securing a higher CD rate in the future, ITCU invites you to bask in the glow of our newest option. “Cash in” now by opening one of our Cash!n CDs today! Stop by your local ITCU branch or reach out to the Contact Center at (800) 337-3328 to get started!

(ITCU members will soon have the ability to open CDs online from the ITCU.org website! Look for more information on this service option soon.)

(*APY is Annual Percentage Yield. Rates subject to change at any time, without notice. Early redemption will affect earnings. View current rates.)

High-Yield Checking is Pushing the Limits of Higher Dividends Up to 6.17% APY!

HYC Q2 2023 The wheels keep spinning for our High-Yield Checking (HYC) accountholders. HYC members already enjoy exclusive access to HYC CDs that offer premium rates above regular CDs, but two recent changes make HYC an even stronger checking choice for those looking for the highest possible dividends:

  • HYC rates are higher than ever for those who use their ITCU debit card as their primary payment choice! Enjoy up to a 6.17% APY based on monthly debit card spend!
  • The maximum average daily balance “cap” to earn the highest rate was increased from $30,000.00 to $50,000.00! This gives members the ability to earn a higher rate now on a higher balance!

If you use your debit card as your preferred payment method, an HYC account could be the perfect checking choice for you. And all qualifying transactions paid for with your debit card can contribute to your monthly spend and tier placement. Those streaming subscriptions or memberships up for renewal? Impromptu purchases for your child’s classroom? Vacation bookings for when it’s time to “get away from it all”? All of those factor into your monthly debit card spend with HYC.

Not only that, but HYC members can also enroll in uChoose Rewards®* and turn purchases and payments into points which can be redeemed for merchandise, gift cards and best of all – cash back!

To summarize, if you combine your debit card activity with uChoose Rewards and your HYC account, you could be earning points and higher dividends!

Every HYC checking account comes with free debit cards, alongside other great perks such as the ability to get paid up to two days early with a reoccurring electronic direct deposit set up, and not being charged for non-sufficient funds fees.

If you’re ready to push the limits of higher dividends, HYC is ready for you! Open your account today online, by visiting your local branch, or by reaching out to our Contact Center at (800) 337-3328.

ITCU Invites You to Celebrate Financial Capability Month!

Fahter and Son Discussing Tablet and Notbeook

No matter the day, there is always something to celebrate. We’re not just talking about birthdays or anniversaries; there are national days for everything from coffee to capybaras. But one major monthlong celebration is happening throughout April: National Financial Capability Month!

Financial Capability Month is a 30-day celebration of wise money moves, practical financial activity and opportunities to learn more about the foundations of banking. And the best part about it is everyone can participate, no matter if you’re 5 or 95! Wise money habits may start at a young age but there is no age limit on learning later in life!

And while responsible money habits should never be limited to just one month out of the calendar year, ITCU has a number of resources members can consult all Financial Capability Month (and throughout the rest of the months, too!):

  • One of our most comprehensive resources is the Financial Awareness page on the ITCU.org website. Visitors can find our It’s a Money Thing® Playlist, a collection of more than 30 animated videos tackling a wide range of financial topics from credit scores to side hustles, or a link to the ever-expanding library of Knowledge of Financial Education (KOFE) materials. KOFE resources include self-paced online modules on financial topics like budgeting or savings account types, and their interactive nature ensures participants put what they learn to the test. (View Financial Awareness Page.)
  • Did you know the ITCU.org website has a library of nearly 40 free calculators visitors can use? Broken down by auto, home financing, savings, retirement and debt categories, these calculators allow visitors to track their financial savviness across many different scenarios, like comparing two auto loans or estimating social security benefits. (Head over to our Calculators page to get started.)
  • Of course, the ITCU team is available to assist with questions about our products and services. We also have a number of certified financial counselors who can help provide feedback on financially related matters. Stop by your local branch or make an appointment online to find out more from our team.  (Appointments and general inquiries can all be made from our Contact Us page.)
