Savings account
Our basic savings account is a great way to get started. Open your account with as little as $5.00, and there’s no monthly fee.
Money Market account
A Money Market account with $2,500 enjoys the same high rate as an account with $250,000 (and no monthly fee!). This is one of many ways your credit union gives back to members. Other financial institutions pay higher dividends for higher balances, but we want every saver to earn more (plus you get check and debit card access!).
Certificates
Open a Certificate with as little as $100, and enjoy high rates on terms from 3 months to 5 years. Small savers earn the same great rates as big depositors, and the longer your term, the higher your rate. Get even more with a Membership Rewards relationship!
Companion account
Earn an amazing high rate on this basic savings account when you partner it with a Certificate!
Student High Yield Savings account
Earn more just for being a student. Our Student High Yield Savings account pays high interest on every dollar you save. It’s available to Stanford students with a Student Spending account, so opening that account is your first step to growing your money faster. View rates
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
It’s never too early to start planning your retirement, and we make it easy with three options: Traditional IRA, Roth IRA and an IRA Certificate. We also have an experienced Wealth Management team to help you put together a full retirement plan. Open your account at Retirement Central.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
A Health savings account is designed for individuals with a high-deductible medical insurance plan, to help you cover the costs not paid by your plan. You’ll get free checks and debit card access to help you pay doctors, pharmacy and other medical expenses. Open your account at Retirement Central.
Youth Savings account
Help your child learn the importance of managing money and saving for a rainy day. Our Youth Savings account is designed for children age 17 and under with no opening deposit and no monthly fee. You can also start a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) for your child.
Dividends are compounded and paid monthly. Once a Certificate is opened, the rate remains fixed through maturity, and early withdrawal penalties apply and may reduce earnings.
