*APY = Annual Percentage Yield for this Share Savings Certificate (certificate) promotion. The certificate has a 4.00% APY, a dividend of 3.923%, and a term of 6 (six) consecutive months after it’s opened. The minimum opening deposit per certificate is $10,000 and the maximum is $2,000,000. Multiple Certificates can be opened if the opening balance of each one is between $10,000 to $2,000,000. Additional funds can be deposited into the certificate after it’s opened, and the maximum additional funds are equal to the opening deposit (for example, if a certificate is opened with a $10,000 deposit, the total additional deposits can only equal $10,000 or less). This Certificate can only be opened at LAFCU starting 8/1/25. When this Certificate matures, it will automatically renew for another 6 (six)-month term at the rate in effect at maturity equal to the member’s Relationship Rewards level (Bronze, Silver, or Gold), and/or if the member is age 60+ and/ or had opened a Jumbo Certificate (over $100,000 opening deposit). This offer is subject to change or may be discontinued without notice. The actual APY will be calculated to three decimal points. The funds for the certificate must be “new money only,” meaning the funds must be deposited in your LAFCU account within 30 days prior to the date you open the certificate. Only LAFCU members have access to our services, including Certificates. For more details, search “Master Disclosures” on our website & read the section “Terms & Conditions Applicable to Share Certificate Accounts.”

• Paypal from our website
• In the branch
• Contact Digital Branch or the Contact Center & ask us to transfer funds to The Midnight Mission.
Members who donate $20 or more at a branch will receive a free mini-flashlight.

Members will be alerted about this change by an ad on our website and inside online/mobile banking.
The access will not change for those using a browser on their mobile devices since access is already at the top of the screen.

The lowest vehicle loan rate at LAFCU is 4.75%APR; one way of getting this rate is to have a 750+ FICO credit score, a Gold Relationship Rewards tier, automatic vehicle loan payments set up, financing a vehicle loan up to 60 months, and redeeming enough CU Rewards points (based on the vehicle loan amount) from your LAFCU Visa Signature Rewards Platinum credit card. Ask us about other ways to get the 4.75%APR. When refinancing, the LAFCU loan will match the remaining term and balance owed on the loan from the other lender.

A LAFCU member who opens a new LAFCU HELOC during the offer period will get ONE entry to a raffle during the month they opened the HELOC for each $10,000 advanced, with a maximum of TEN entries (if they advanced $100,000). LAFCU members & non-members who do not open a HELOC during the promo can get ONE raffle entry being held the month they send the sentence “Please enter me in the HELOC promo” via email (MarketingDept@lafcu.org) or in a letter mailed to the LAFCU Marketing Department (Attn: HELOC Raffle, PO Box 53032, Los Angeles, CA 90053). Since a new raffle is held each month for three consecutive months, a person’s entry emailed or mailed to LAFCU will count as one entry and only be part of the raffle held the month the entry was received. The odds of winning depend on the number of entries received. No purchase necessary to enter a raffle. After the offer period, anyone can request the names (first name initial & full last name) of the winners by sending an email or letter to the previously mentioned email or PO Box address and write “HELOC Offer Winners List Request” in the email or on the envelope.
