Get guaranteed growth with Business Choice Certificates

Earn higher savings rates than a traditional business savings account to help plan for your business goals, with a Civic Business Choice Certificate. Open the account using funds you do not need to access for a period of time. Select terms between 6 months and 5 years, whatever works for you. Then, make a deposit to lock in your fixed rate of return. These dividends can be re-invested or paid out. 

Banks have a similar product called Business Certificates of Deposit. We call them Business Choice Certificates because your choice puts you in total control of your business funds and how they grow. In an uncertain world, guaranteed dividends can bring you some stability.
