Savings FAQs

Common questions about our savings accounts.

Why do I need a savings account to become a member?

Your Share Savings account represents your ownership in the credit union.  A small $5 deposit ($10 deposit for joint accounts) secures your membership and gives you access to all of our products and services.

Is there a minimum balance required?

Yes, a minimum of $5 ($10 for joint accounts) is required to keep your Share Savings account open and maintain your membership.  Our other Savings accounts have other minimum balance requirements.

How do I access my savings funds?

You can access your savings account through digital banking, ACH transfers, in-branch withdrawals, or by visiting an ATM (Share Savings accounts only). Withdrawals may be limited to comply with federal guidelines.

Do savings accounts earn interest?

Yes! All of our savings accounts earn dividends. Rates may vary depending on the type of account and your balance.

How is my money protected?

Your funds are federally insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) up to at least $250,000, so your savings are safe and secure.
