Your Funds Grow Over Time
Our Savings accounts help you increase your financial success by making it easy to pay yourself. You can request additional savings accounts, nickname them for your goals, and track them all easily with Online Banking and the Mobile app.2
The most flexible accounts are our Savings Account and Money Market Account. Plus, they can be used as a source of overdraft funds for checking.
If you can afford to leave your money in place without immediate access, you can earn more with Certificates of Deposit or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). These have dependable, higher returns, though early withdrawals may reduce interest or benefits earned.
Add money to all of these account types by transferring from other UFCU accounts immediately or an external account, or via Direct Deposit. Let our convenient features help you build better saving habits.

Balances more than $10,000 will earn dividends at the current available rate. Rate is variable and subject to change after account is open. Fees could reduce earnings
Dividends are credited monthly. To receive this benefit, the following qualifications apply:
Have at least twenty (20) eligible card transactions a month – the 20 eligible transactions can be a combination of debit card transactions on the Plus Checking share and credit card transactions on the same account in which the Plus Checking share resides. The eligible transactions must fully post within the month (i.e. pending transactions that have not fully posted are not counted).
Eligible card transactions include purchases or spend transactions (exclude transactions such as cash withdrawals, transfers, cash advances or balance transfers).
There must be a balance greater than the par value of one share to earn Bonus Dividends on a Plus Checking Share.
10 Fee Waived Requirements. Your $10 monthly service fee will be waived if your combined month-end balances are $10,000 or more, or if your monthly qualifying electronic deposits are $4,000 or more. A qualifying electronic deposit is a deposit of funds, such as your salary, government benefit payment, or other income, that has been posted to your account and is made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. Transfers from one account to another, mobile deposits, instant payments processed through the RTP® network (real-time payment system) or FedNow® Service, an electronic credit from a third-party service that facilitates payments to your debit card using the Visa® or Mastercard® network, or deposits made at a branch or ATM are not considered a qualifying electronic deposit.
