Guaranteed Rates
After purchasing one of the money market certificates offered by Pentagon Federal Credit Union, your APY rate is locked in for the term of the certificate. The dividends on the money market accounts that are longer than six months are compounded daily so you can get the most return from your money.

Federal Protection

Dividend Options
You can choose to have your dividends paid to you at the maturity of your money market certificate or each month. In addition, you can also have your dividends added to your certificate, transfer them to another account or get a check sent to you for the amount of the dividends. It’s totally up to you.

Automatic Renewal
Unless you change the options online or in person, your PenFed certificate will renew automatically after it matures so you can just sit back and allow it to keep earning money for you.
