- Deposits and withdrawals can be made in any amount
- Account interest is compounded and paid quarterly
- Through this account, you establish membership at Extra Credit Union with access to all our services
Plus, members under 11 get a special gift package, which includes a:

Certificates of Deposit
Are you yearning to reach a longer-range financial goal, such as saving up for a home or a cruise? A longer-term savings plan, such as certificate of deposit {CD}, will help you earn higher interest.
A CD guarantees that you will save for a particular time frame—180 days, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, or 60 months—and you’ll keep funds in your account without withdrawing any funds, as the funds are for your future use. Choose the amount you want to invest and the period of time to keep the funds on deposit, remembering that the longer the term of your CD, the higher your rate of return.
Here’s how certificates of deposit work. They:
- Are a secure way to invest
- Provide a higher {and guaranteed} interest rate than a savings or money market account
- Have a minimum balance requirement of $500
- Offer terms from 180 days to 60 months
- Enable you to cash in your CD with interest earned or roll it over into another CD when the maturation date arrives
- Do not allow for early withdrawals

To earn the advertised CD rate, the minimum deposit amount is $500 with a term of 15 months. Other rates and terms are available. Additional terms, conditions, and restrictions may apply.

Money Market Account
Would you like your funds to earn more interest than a savings account and have ready access to your funds while they are being invested? Open a money market account. Make higher dividends based on your savings balance. And the higher your savings tier, the more you’re paid.
A minimum of $5,000 enables you to open and maintain an account, and you may withdraw unlimited funds whenever needed with no penalty, as long as your funds don’t drop below $5,000.
Here’s how a money market account works:
- Start with a minimum $5,000 deposit (For the youth money market, the minimum balance is $2,000).
- A balance between $20,000 and $49,999 earns a higher interest rate
- A balance of $50,000 and up earns our highest money market interest rate
- Interest is compounded and paid monthly
* Per federal regulations, transfers or withdrawals from an Extra Credit Union savings account are limited to six per calendar month.
