Choose Which Savings Options Work for You

A Regular savings share is the cornerstone of PSECU membership. And only $5 is required to establish and maintain it (additional savings shares have no minimum balance!)

Saving money puts you in control of your financial future. You’re putting money away now so you’ll have it when you need it for that down payment on a house, a college education for you or a special child in your life, retirement, or whatever is important to you and your family. Can money buy happiness? Conventional wisdom says no. But saving it for future goals can give you something else you can’t buy - peace of mind.

That peace of mind can be found in the form of gimmes, like a special rate for youth and free resources to help you make the most of your money. It’s also provided by one big difference that sets us apart from banks. While banks make profits for their corporate shareholders, credit unions like PSECU are not for profit and serve their members. You can feel good about saving with us because we’ve been making decisions 
that benefit our members for over 85 years.

FAQs

  • To earn the dividends associated with a specific tier, your balance must reach the minimum balance requirement of that tier. Dividends are calculated on actual daily balances. If your daily account balance falls below $500, you won't earn dividends until your daily balance again reaches $500. Dividend rates are declared monthly, compounded daily, and paid monthly into money market accounts.
