Savings Accounts

  • In credit union language, a savings account is called a “share account”. When you open yours at EIFCU with a minimum $5 deposit, you’re buying your share of ownership in the Credit Union. You’ll earn interest on your savings, and the money you deposit enables us to make loans to other Credit Union members, thus completing the cooperative circle.

  • Once your share account is opened, you can take advantage of all the other products and services EIFCU offers.

  • No service charge for active accounts.

  • You'll find saving is easier with a convenient payroll deduction or direct deposit of your paycheck. After your direct deposit is credited to your designated account, you can set it up to automatically be distributed into multiple accounts, such as your savings account, children’s savings accounts, a Holiday Club account, or a loan account.

  • Your Share Savings Account funds can be used as collateral for Share Secured Loans.

  • Transfer funds between your accounts with Online Banking or our Mobile App.
