Your shares are insured up to at least $250,000.

We offer a variety of savings options, including:
- Share Savings Accounts
- Bonus Accounts
- Share Certificates

- Vacation Club Accounts
- Social Club Accounts
Share Savings Accounts: We have a basic savings account that requires a minimum $5, and you'll earn an annual percentage yield on your balances $100 and over. This basic savings account makes you an owner/member of the credit union.
Bonus Accounts: This account is for investors who want high earnings but need more flexibility than a share certificate offers. It takes $5,000 to start a bonus account, and you'll earn an annual percentage yield on your balance. Money can be taken out as often as you like, but you must maintain a $5,000 minimum balance to earn the APY.
Share Certificates: For larger investments, we offer share certificates. Dividends are compounded quarterly. If you're looking for a secure investment at a competitive rate, a share certificate may be the best option for you.
Christmas Club/Vacation Club Accounts: Our Christmas Club and/or Vacation Club accounts are designed to help you save for the holidays, vacation, or for any special occasion, and you'll earn dividends on your balances $100 and over.
Social Club Accounts: Our Social Club accounts are designed to help your club association save for a special occasion, and you'll earn dividends on your balances $100 and over.
