Savings Accounts

Regular Share/Savings Account

When you become a member of the credit union a savings account is opened in your name. An initial deposit of $5 is required. All members must maintain a $5 balance in their savings account to remain a member, and demonstrate regular activity in their account to keep it open. The $5 required to open your account is not a fee.

Other features of Regular Savings include:

• A competitive interest rate paid quarterly on the average daily balance in your savings account. Click here for current rate information.
• Withdrawals: To withdraw money from your savings account, simply stop by a credit union branch or go to an ATM terminal. Members may make up to three savings withdrawals per quarter free of charge. After three withdrawals in one quarter a $5 charge per excessive withdrawal is applied if your savings account balance is under $500.
• Online access to your account.
• Quarterly statements by mail.
• Payroll deduction: You may have deposits to your savings account deducted directly from your paycheck.
