- Transaction Limitations – During any statement period, you may not make more than six withdrawals or transfers to another account of yours at the credit union or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer or telephonic order or instruction. If you exceed the transfer limitations set forth above in any statement period, your account will be subject to closure.
If you can spare $1,000, a certificate is a great way to earn a better guaranteed return on your money. A Scott Credit Union certificate gives you a better rate than you would get in a savings account because that money can’t be withdrawn for a set period of time.
Find the certificate that is right for you using our rates tab and then open your account online, stop by one of our convenient locations, or open your account over the phone by calling our Member Service Center at (618) 345-1000.
