Money Market Certificates:  You choose whether your certificate dividends are paid monthly or at maturity. You can also choose from the following dividend payment options:

  1. Add your dividends to the certificate
  2. Transfer them to your Regular Share, Checking, or Money Market Savings Account (MMSA)
  3. Have them sent to you in the form of a check

If you choose option 1 above, then you may select any of the three options listed below for the payment of dividends at certificate maturity. However, if you select option 2 or 3 above, then your last dividend payment at certificate maturity will occur in the same manner as the payment of principal you select below.

In the case of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 7-Year Certificates, choosing option 1 above produces a higher yield, as dividends will compound on the dividends paid into the certificate.

Three options also exist for the payment of principal at certificate maturity:

  1. Use the principal to automatically renew the certificate
  2. Have it transferred to your Pentagon Federal Regular Share, checking account, or Money Market Savings Account
  3. Have it sent to you by check

The choice is yours.

It costs money to get new accounts so Banks often give you a deal if you are ready to walk out the door with a chashier's check after you close your CD. 

Definition: 
A Certificate of Deposit or CD is certificate from a bank stating that the named party has a specified sum on deposit, usually for a given period of time at a fixed rate of interest.  Often there is a penalty for early withdrawal (taking your money out before the specified period of time.)

A Pentagon Federal Money Market Certificate means high yields and security. Your savings are federally insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the U.S. government. You can extend this coverage even further by various combinations of account ownership. Speak to a member service representative for details, or request a copy of the "Your Insured Funds" brochure.
