Share Savings Accounts (share accounts)
Earn one of the highest savings rates in the area. Since our members are the Credit Union shareholders, earnings are paid out to the membership as dividends. Dividends are earned on savings balances of $100 or greater.  Dividends are paid monthly.

Club Accounts

In addition to our regular Share Savings Account, we offer club accounts that can be used to save for that special something:

  • Vacation Club Savings
  • Christmas Club Savings
  • "You Name It" Club Savings

You can arrange to have set amounts deposited straight into your club account right from your paycheck with direct deposit.   You'll reach your target balance before you know it!

Automatic transfers from savings to checking are limited to six per month. A loan application must be approved for an overdraft line of credit.


Holiday Helper Account

Save a little extra for the holiday season with a Holiday Helper Account!  The Holiday Helper Account is an easy way to save for the holidays and earn extra dividends. You may open the account with a zero balance and add to it as often you like.  The account matures on Oct. 31st - so you have plenty of time for shopping.

Want to make saving painless?  Set up direct deposit or automatic transfer from another Premier CU account.  You'll be surprised how transferring $20 a paycheck into your Holiday Helper turns into big bucks!  But keep your account a secret or everyone will want to be on your gift list.

* Account begins earning dividends on average daily balances of $100 or greater.  The penalty for early withdrawal is the loss of all dividends earned.  This is not a fixed rate product.  Rate subject to change without notice.



Money Market Accounts
Finally, a money market account you can't afford not to have! You will find the low minimum balance, high reliable yields, and flexible terms very attractive. When looking for a money market account, make sure to read all the terms, restrictions, and penalties associated with the account.

We have Share Certificates with a variety of maturity dates. A low minimum required deposit of $1000 makes it easy for people to take advantage of our certificates.

Dividends are paid quarterly. You have the option of letting the interest remain in your Share Certificate, depositing it directly into another account, or withdrawing it.

Whatever your investment goals, let our experienced staff help you select the best alternatives to meet your current and future needs.


IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts)
When it comes to investing in your future, IRAs are an excellent way to save for retirement and allow your dividends to compound tax-free!   Our IRA accounts are insured up to $500,000.  PCU offers Traditional and Roth IRAs. 


Since the Tax Reform Act of 1986, many people have been asking: Is the IRA still a worthwhile investment? The fact is, today's IRA still offers tax-deferred interest on all your deposits. In other words, the earnings on your IRA investment accumulate tax-free until you withdraw the funds. Many individuals can still deduct all or part of their IRA contributions.

If you are wondering whether an IRA is right for you, let PCU help you sort things out. For more information on IRAs please contact one of our branches at 847.843.6500.
