Health Savings Account

Health insurance can be pricey. A Health Savings Account (HSA) helps soothe the sting of high-cost medical bills for those with High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) by allowing you to pay those bills tax-free.

  • Certain HSA accounts can be accessed by your Visa Debit Card or by check.
  • A Savings Certificate can even be opened as an HSA to earn the highest tax-free dividends.
  • Contributions to an HSA can be made by individuals or employers.

Share Certificates

Share Certificates are a great way to earn a fixed, guaranteed rate on your money. There’s no one-size-fits-all way to save. You choose your terms with our custom Share Certificates.

  • Lock in a fixed rate of return.
  • Choose a term (ranging from 3–60 months) that best fits your goals.
  • Open your Share Certificate with a deposit as low as $500.

Your deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to at least $250,000.

When​ you need quick access to your money and a good rate of return, a Money Market Account is a smart choice. The more you have in your Money Market, the higher the dividend rate you earn.
