Savings Accounts


Share Savings Accounts

As a credit union member, your member-owner status is represented by the shares you save at Common Trust FCU. That’s why we call your savings account a Regular Share Savings Account. You must open this account with an initial minimum deposit of $15.00 and maintain that balance to remain a member in good standing.

All credit union Savings Accounts and IRAs earn dividends when a minimum balance of $50.00 is maintained. Share Accounts earn money from day-of-deposit to day-of-withdrawal. Dividends are distributed quarterly. Your funds are insured by the NCUA. And you receive the service you deserve.

You may open other Share Accounts for specific savings purposes like education, taxes, vacations, or special purchases. To open another Share Account for any purpose, visit or contact us.

  • Required to establish membership in CTFCU

  • $15.00 minimum opening deposit

  • Convenient free payroll deduction through your employers

  • Dividends are compounded daily and paid quarterly

  • Voting privileges at the Annual Member Meeting

Share/IRA Certificates

Looking for higher earnings on your savings?

Consider our Share Certificates which are the same as Certificates of Deposit (CDs). They pay higher interest rates because they are deposited for a fixed period of time. You can open a Share Certificate with as little as $500. Investment terms range from 6 months to 3 years. The rate is fixed for the entire certificate term. Dividends are calculated daily and compounded and credited to your account monthly or at a specific time period. On 6 month CDs, the dividend is given at maturity. A substantial penalty will be imposed for a withdrawal on any certificate prior to maturity.

IRAs

An Individual Retirement Account makes a lot of sense when planning your retirement or your investment future. Your Social Security benefits and pension are not intended to provide all of your retirement income. And planning ahead to pay for an education, or to buy a house, or any future goal is always wise.

Today’s IRAs provide more tax benefits and greater earnings than in previous years. You can choose from taking advantage of yearly tax deductions now, or save your tax breaks for future withdrawals. Dividends are distributed quarterly.

At Common Trust FCU, we offer Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Call to discuss which option better suits your needs. Maybe both!

It’s never too early to start planning for retirement. We offer quick educational courses to help you!
