Share Savings Accounts
A Share savings account at Banner Federal establishes your membership with us. It is easy to use for putting away a little extra money each paycheck and comes with ATM access to over 30,000 surcharge-free machines nationwide. Share savings must remain at a minimum balance of $25.00 during your membership with the credit union.
In accordance with Regulation D, members are limited to six transactions per statement cycle from your share savings. A fee will be assessed for each transaction beyond three of $1.00. See full details of Regulation D below.
How Regulation D Affects Your Account

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.
