What's the difference?
Checking & savings accounts are very similar, but have a few key distinctions. When you use your GUASFCU Visa card at merchants, the money will come out of your checking account. Similarly, anytime you write a check, the money will come out of your checking account. A savings account earns interest, meaning that while money is in your savings account, it grows over time. Both are insured by the U.S. government for balances up to $250,000 through the NCUA. To encourage savings, the government limits withdrawals from savings accounts to six per month. GUASFCU highly recommends having both accounts.

Certificate of Deposit
A Certificate of deposit (CD) lets you earn higher interest in return for committing to deposit your money for a specific period of time. Just like checking & savings accounts, deposits are insured by the NCUA up to $250,000. If you need to withdraw the money before the maturity of the certificate, you may have to pay a penalty.
