You don't have time to mess around.

Whatever your financial goals are, you’re going to need expert advice and exceptional strategies to move your forward.

Saving for a new car? College education? Wedding? Vacation home? Retirement? Done. No risky ventures, “get rich quick” schemes or products you don't need—just a solid plan with effective outcomes.

Here’s a three-pronged strategy to get you to your target goals.

Certificates: A strong, safe (and guaranteed) return

You don't have to be a Wall Street rock star to earn a great rate on your investment. We offer a number of different Certificates with varying terms so you can save comfortably without having to worry about the ups and downs of the stock market. You'll earn better-than-average rates with a deposit as low as just $500.

If retirement is weighing on your mind, look into one of our Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Certificates. You'll still earn a guaranteed return (a penalty will be imposed for early withdrawals before the age of 59½). The interest you earn may be tax-deductible. And, a portion of the money you invest—up to $5,500 per year under age 50 and $6,500 age 50 and older—will reduce your taxable income.

Money Market Accounts: The best of both worlds.

Here's another smart (and easy) way to increase your earnings without tying up your money at all. A Money Market Account gives you the liquidity of a savings account with higher-than-average interest rates**. Plus, it's tiered, so the more money you have in the account, the more you'll earn. Think “emergency nest egg,” and you have the perfect solution with our Money Market Account.

Details:
  • Open an account with a minimum of $1,000
  • Earn high dividends that are compounded monthly
  • Funds can be transferred to your CU of NJ Checking Account when needed†
  • Online transfers can be made through e-Banking

It's a solid way to stay liquid. If you have less than $10,000 to invest, you can open your Money Market Account online. For accounts over $10,000, stop by any of our convenient locations and we'll get your earnings started.

Smart Long-Range Planning: Your future is here.

The third prong of your savings strategy is also the most critical—long-range planning. This is where our financial advisors can really come into play. We'll offer you the guidance you need to get ready for life events such as:

  • Getting the kids through college
  • Protecting your business
  • Succession planning
  • Retirement and income strategies
  • Unexpected hardships

We even have solutions for long-term care and life insurance policies. So don't wait. Start thinking about the future now.
