Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO)

SimpliCD is the program owned jointly by Members United Corporate Federal Credit Union and other corporates to serve credit unions interested in national Certificates of Deposit. There are many benefits to working with us, rather than an unknown CD brokerage service that does not need to be licensed or examined.

Strategic Placements

Placements are made by purchasing one or multiple CDs in $99,000 or $100,000 increments at separately insured issuers. For FDIC insurance purposes, a detailed tracking system assures that no more than $100,000 of your principal is placed in any single institution within the SimpliCD program. This is a very important feature.

Convenient Interest Payments

SimpliCD tracks, monitors, and distributes all of your credit union's earnings back to your Members United account. You receive one consolidated monthly interest payment for all the Certificates of Deposit in your SimpliCD portfolio.

Easy Purchasing

A single transfer is all it takes for the total amount of your SimpliCD purchases. SimpliCD sends each institution the money for the individual certificates purchased, and handles the safekeeping.

Summary Reports

Your credit union receives a monthly investment summary that details its entire SimpliCD portfolio.
