Savings Accounts

You decide how much you want to save while earning interest at a competitive rate.

I understand that a primary savings account comes with my 1st Cooperative membership. {{ Cognito.resources["required-asterisk"] }} , { binding firstError.message }

{binding displayValue}

YOU MAY ALSO ADD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS:

Youth Savers Accounts. Teach your children at a young age the value of saving by opening a Kid’s Club (ages 2–12) or Teen Savers (ages 13–17) account for them. Youth savers receive a gift on their birthday.

Holiday Helper Account. Your holidays can be less hectic with a Holiday Helper Account. For your convenience, the balance of your Holiday Helper Account is transferred to your 1st Cooperative savings or checking account on or after November 1 each year.

Vacation Savings Account. For your convenience, the balance of your Vacation Savings Account is transferred to your 1st Cooperative savings or checking account on or after May 1 each year.

Savings Certificates. You can earn higher dividends by opening a Savings Certificate (certificate of deposit). Minimum balances are based on the term length of your certificate investment.

Health Savings Account (HSA). If you have a high deductible health insurance plan, you can save money for qualified healthcare expenses — and possibly save on taxes, too. If your employer offers a high deductible health plan, open an HSA with us.

The savings accounts above require additional information. Select YES, and a credit union representative will contact you with other information you will need to know. {{ Cognito.resources["required-asterisk"] }} , { binding firstError.message }

Account Designations

A "Payable on Death (POD)" designation is often used by our members to more easily pass on their savings to loved ones.

Individual Owner POD Account. Only you have access to your funds during your lifetime. Upon your death, the remaining funds are disbursed to the named beneficiary(ies) on the account, generally without having to pass through probate.

Joint Owner POD Account. You and the joint owner can access the account at any time during your lifetimes. Upon your death, the funds in the account will be transferred to the joint owner. Only upon the death of you and the joint owner are funds disbursed to the designated beneficiary(ies), generally without going through probate.

Fund Your Account

All credit union members are required to pay a $1 membership fee and make a $25 minimum deposit into the savings account that comes with credit union membership. For your convenience, 1st Cooperative accepts credit card or debit card via PayPal. A digital invoice will be sent to your email address.

A Savings Account comes with joining the credit union. However, if you are also opening a Checking Account with this application, you can make deposits into the Checking Account only after this Savings Account is opened.
