CFC Member Investment Opportunities
CFC offers a range of investment options that earn your electric cooperative a market-driven rate.
Investment Products
Short-Term Investments
CFC’s short-term member investment products can meet your near term (i.e. ≤ 9 months) investment requirements. Interest rates are market driven and set on a daily basis. CFC offers three short-term investment products. Characteristics of each investment are outlined in the table on the next page. All short-term rates are set daily and are based on market conditions.
Short-term investments include:
| • | Daily Liquidity Fund |
| • | Commercial Paper |
| • | Select Notes |
Short-term investments can potentially streamline your accounts payable process by directing investment proceeds to pay monthly bills and other cash-flow needs.
Medium-Term Notes
Medium-Term Notes (MTNs) are also available to meet your longer-term investment needs (i.e. 10 months - 30 years). MTNs are senior unsecured debt securities that earn attractive fixed market interest rates. MTN rates are also set daily based on market conditions.
Member Capital Securities
An alternative long-term investment is CFC’s Member Capital Securities (MCS), which are a form of unsecured subordinated debt that include a fixed interest rate and a 30-year term.
Supplementary Services
CFC Paying Agent Service
CFC’s Paying Agent Services (PAS) allows cooperatives to direct CFC to pay third parties (e.g., power suppliers and other third-party vendors) on the cooperative’s behalf using funds from maturing Commercial Paper, Select Notes and Daily Liquidity Fund investments. CFC’s PAS is a complimentary service to help members maximize investment returns, gain from cash-flow efficiencies and avoid bank wiring fees.
CFC QuickDraw
CFC’s QuickDraw is an additional service that allows CFC to automatically withdraw funds for Commercial Paper, Select Notes and Daily Liquidity Fund investments directly from authorized bank account(s). QuickDraw is designed to save members time by eliminating the need to instruct banks to wire funds to CFC for investments.

Investing in CFC products is quick and easy. The CFC Member Center can be contacted by phone at 800-424-2955 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. (ET), on business days. Alternatively, the Member Center may be contacted via e-mail at MemberCenter@nrucfc.coop.
