Savings Accounts

Low balance requirement makes these accounts a great option to start saving for your goals.

Money Markets

Money market accounts require higher balances, typically offer higher interest rates, and provide the flexibility of writing checks to access your funds.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

Have funds that you don’t need immediate access to? Maximize your earnings with one of our CDs. You pick the time frame and invest as little as $1,000 and we’ll pay you a fixed interest rate on your money.

IRA Savings and IRA CDs

It’s never too early — or too late — to start saving for retirement. Start saving early with regular deposits to your IRA Savings with Steady Save®. Or take advantage of our fixed IRA CD rates to grow your retirement funds.

Your habits

Bills. Groceries. Gas. With so many immediate demands on your money, it can be hard to save for longer-term needs. If you’re ready to start putting aside some money, our Steady Save® service automatically moves money from checking to savings. You’ll save without thinking about it — just select the amount and frequency and we’ll do the rest.

Your time frame

Different goals call for different timelines. For example, if you’re managing your everyday finances through your savings account or money market, you may not want to tie up your assets in a CD.

However, if you have a balance you can afford to set aside for a long period of time, CDs may provide you with a higher yield option for your savings.

When choosing the right account for yourself, think about the access you’ll need to your assets.
