High-Yield Savings FAQs

Common questions about our high-yield savings accounts.

What makes a high-yield savings account different from a regular savings account?

A high-yield savings account offers higher interest rates so your money grows faster, while still giving you easy access and security.

How soon can I access funds after opening the account?

You can start saving and accessing your funds right away with easy online transfers or visits to any branch.

Are there any fees I should be aware of?

Yes. Our high-yield savings account requires a minimum $10,000 account balance and a maximum of two withdrawals per statement cycle.  Fees may be assessed if the minimum balance is not maintained, or for excessive withdrawals.  See Fee Schedule for details.

Is my money safe with Palisades Credit Union?

Absolutely. Your deposits are federally insured up to $250,000, so you can save with confidence.

How do I open a high-yield savings account?

You can open your account online, by phone, or visit us in person—whichever is easiest for you.
