Savings Accounts

There are a Lot of Ways to Save at Banner Federal Credit Union.

Share Savings Accounts

How Regulation D Affects Your Account

Teach your children how to save early with a Kids Club Account with Banner Federal. They will earn dividends on their deposits and can even get an ATM card. Open your new baby’s account before their first birthday and we will match your initial deposit up to $25.

Club Savings Accounts

Holiday Club

Budgeting throughout the year for holiday spending is finally made simple! You can have a fixed amount deducted from each paycheck to get ready for holiday purchases. The Holiday Club funds will be transferred to your checking or savings account on November 1. One dollar will be left in the account to allow the continuation of the payroll deductions into the account for the following year.

Vacation Club

The Vacation club helps you stash cash for weekend getaways or that dream vacation you’ve always wanted. Open for as little as $1.00 and contribute through payroll deduction or monthly transfers until you are ready to use it.
