What is a Share (Savings) Account?
A share (savings) account is the foundation of your STTFCU membership and your ownership in the credit union. When you open a share (savings) account, you’re not just saving money; you’re becoming a member-owner of our credit union. Your deposits are safe, convenient to access and earn dividends (similar to interest). Because we’re a cooperative, profits are returned to you and not outside shareholders.
Don't forget:
Your deposits with us are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000 per depositor, per institution.
Why Save with STTFCU?
- Member-first returns: Dividends on (savings); competitive options for every stage
- Easy access: Transfer money between accounts, set up direct deposit and view eStatements online or in-app
- Automatic habits: Schedule recurring transfers so saving happens even when you’re busy
- Start early: With a Junior Share (Savings) Account, our young members learn how and why to save
