What is a share certificate?

Certificates provide a safe and secure way to save and grow your money.

How does a share certificate work? A share certificate works similar to a savings account. You deposit money and collect dividends, but you have a set opening deposit and need to keep the money in the account for a specified amount of time. Share certificates often earn a higher rate than savings accounts.
