§ 14855 Credit Union Loan Certificates

This law says credit unions can take money from people, save it up, and lend it out. They have to give a paper that says how much money, the interest rate, and when it must be paid back.

Key Takeaways

•Credit unions can take your money and lend it to others.
•They must give you a paper showing the amount, interest rate, and payback time.
•You earn extra money (interest) based on how much you put in and how long it stays.

Example

You put $1,000 in a credit union and they give you a paper saying they’ll pay you 3% interest every year.

The credit union must tell you exactly when you get your $1,000 back and how much extra money (interest) they’ll pay you each year.

How to Calculate

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Find the amount of money you put in (Principal).
Find the interest rate (Rate) as a decimal (e.g., 3% = 0.03).
Find how long the money stays in (Time in years).
Multiply them together to get the interest.

You deposit $1,000 at 3% interest for 2 years.

Result: $1,000 × 0.03 × 2 = $60 interest
