Financial Education

The holiday season on Oahu is all about 'ohana, community, and sharing the aloha spirit. But let's be honest: the joy of the season often comes with a wave of financial pressure.

If you're looking for a safe and reliable way to grow your savings, you’ve probably come across the term "Certificate of Deposit" or "CD." But did you know that there’s a similar, yet potentially better, option available right here on the island of O’ahu? Share Certificates, exclusively offered by credit unions like Ko’olau FCU, are an excellent choice for those looking to make their money work harder.

For families in O’ahu, having a reliable and accessible savings option is essential. Money Market Accounts (MMAs) offer a perfect solution, combining the benefits of both savings and Checking Accounts. They allow families to grow their savings while maintaining easy access to funds when emergencies arise.
