Share Savings Accounts
Members are required to deposit at least $10 in a share savings account at the credit union upon joining, and must maintain a $10 minimum balance to use any or all of the services we offer. Dividends are calculated on your average daily balance and paid to this account quarterly. There is no penalty for withdrawing your money when you need it.

Holiday Savings Accounts
Open a holiday savings account anytime during the year and withdraw your savings at any time; this account is a great way to reduce holiday stress. Dividends are paid quarterly. Payroll deductions or direct deposits are encouraged. (The account is not automatically closed if the balance reaches zero.)

Special Savings Accounts
Designed to help you achieve your short-term financial goals, these accounts can also be used to save for any special reason (i.e., taxes, a vacation, new furniture, etc.). Dividends are paid quarterly.

A Money Market account is a good option if you are saving in the short term. For example, a student might put a large part of his summer earnings into a money market account rather than a regular checking account, thus maximizing his interest before withdrawing it later in the school year.

Unlike a certificate of deposit which carries a set term, you can withdraw funds from a Money Market savings accounts at any time. And unlike a regular savings accounts, there is a limit on the number of withdrawals you can make from your Money Market account each month.

With a minimum balance of $2,500, you’ll earn money market yields – and when your balance reaches $10,000, $20,000, or $50,000, you’ll earn a higher rate on your entire account. Dividends are paid monthly.
