This account doesn’t differ much from the bank’s Regular Savings account. The only true difference is that you can earn a much higher rate on up to your first $500 deposited into the account, but then the rate goes down to match that of the Regular Savings account. Otherwise, this is pretty much another no-frills account with minimal fees and requirements, but no real perks either.
As a savings account, this one abides by Federal Reserve Regulation D, a rule that limits certain withdrawals and transfers up to six per month.
Qualified customers can open one of the credit union’s savings accounts either online or in person. They’ll just have to be sure to open a Regular Savings account with a minimum deposit of $5 to start. To open an account, you’ll need your Social Security number and a government ID, such as a driver’s license.
