Share (Savings) Accounts
A minimum deposit of $5.00 is all it takes to open a share account, commonly referred to as a savings account. A balance in this account is required for membership. It works just like a savings account. Dividends are paid monthly based on the average daily balance in the account through the month.

Share Certificates
Our term share certificates provide an investment opportunity in which funds are deposited for a fixed term – from 6 months to three years. Funds deposited to these accounts generally receive a higher dividend rate than on most other share accounts. Our certificates require a minimum deposit amount of $500.00. Dividends are paid on a monthly basis and at maturity. Deposits are insured up to $250,000.00 by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Early withdrawals are subject to a penalty of 30 days loss of dividends.
