SHARE SAVINGS
Establish membership at High Point FCU when you open a primary share savings account. Every credit union member is required to maintain $5 in their primary share savings. Doing so secures your membership with the credit union.
Life happens. It’s always a good idea to have reserves available for those “unexpected” life expenses. A savings account is a great place to set aside extra funds or establish a weekly or monthly deposit from your paycheck, Social Security, pension or any other credit union account. You will earn competitive savings dividends when you maintain a minimum balance of $300.
All credit union members are required to maintain a savings account (we refer to as your primary share savings) where we hold $5, which is your membership interest in the credit union. Should you leave the credit union, your $5 will be made available to you.
Enjoy competitive dividends; our savings rates are tiered based on your account balance. You start earning dividends with a minimum monthly balance of $300, and rest assured, your funds are Federally Insured by NCUA up to $250,000 per depositor.
