Why it matters

When families and communities can invest in clean energy solutions, they’re not only able to save money on energy costs, but also breathe cleaner air where they live, work, learn, worship and play.

That’s why we’ve invested over $500 million over the last 25 years in green projects and clean energy initiatives.

When you open a green term certificate, your dollars help support that work, along with supporting our impact lending across sectors. 

  • Terms range from 3 months to 5 years
  • Guaranteed returns for the length of your savings term
  • Funds are insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to protect your investment
  • Early withdrawal may result in loss of dividend income*, but your initial investment is never at risk
  • Help power sustainability initiatives and impactful lending across sectors, including climate lending
