Regular Share (Savings) Accounts

The regular share account offers two important benefits to members:

  • The initial $5.00 deposit establishes you as a “shareholder” of the credit union and entitles you to receive all the benefits of credit union membership.
  • Our regular share account offers a generous interest rate, helping your savings grow more quickly. You can maximize your interest payment by taking advantage of our Payroll Deduction Plan or Direct Deposit.

We also offer the following Club Accounts:
