Savings Accounts
Share Savings
These basic dividend-earning savings accounts are the backbone of our savings program. Share Savings accounts earn high dividends from the date of deposit to the date of withdrawal. Dividends are compounded and paid out each quarter.
A Share Savings account must be opened with a minimum deposit of $50. Subsequent deposits can be made in any amount. A minimum balance of $50 is required to retain your membership in the credit union.
Preferred Savings
A Preferred Savings account can be opened with as little as $50 and you can make additional deposits of any amount at any time. Funds in your Preferred Savings account will earn a higher dividend rate than in your Share Savings or Checking account. And, if you have a Preferred Savings account balance of $20,000 or more, you'll earn an even higher rate. (Dividend rates may change at the discretion of the Board of Directors.)
The Preferred Savings account is designed to be a true savings account and not a transaction account. You can make six free withdrawals from this account per calendar quarter. You'll be charged $10 for each additional withdrawal.

Premier Savings
The Premier Savings Account pays the highest dividend rate of all our savings accounts. A minimum deposit of $50,000 is required to open the account and six withdrawals per quarter may be made without penalty. Members may earn even higher dividend rates as balances grow.
Members who have an existing Preferred Savings account with a qualifying balance may convert the Preferred Savings account to a Premier Savings account. Members may have either a Preferred Savings or Premier Savings account, but may not have both products under the same account.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) were created by Congress to help Americans create long-term retirement savings. No matter how far off retirement seems to be, it's a good idea to take advantage of our IRA services. To help you get the most out of your retirement dollars, we offer a competitive IRA program. You may choose from IRA savings accounts or Traditional or Roth IRAs or Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (formerly Education IRAs).
