Types of Savings Accounts We Offer

PSECU provides a diverse selection of savings accounts, each designed to serve a specific purpose and cater to different saving styles. Understanding these options helps you choose the best fit for your personal financial strategy.

  1. Basic Savings Account: This is the foundational account for all members, establishing your membership with PSECU. It offers a straightforward way to save and earn interest, providing a solid starting point for your financial journey.
  2. Money Market Account: For those with larger balances who want to earn higher dividends without locking up their funds, our Money Market Account is an excellent choice. It typically offers tiered interest rates, meaning higher balances earn even more.
  3. Share Certificates (CDs): If you have funds you won't need for a specific period, Share Certificates offer guaranteed returns at a fixed rate for a set term. This option provides predictability and often higher rates than standard savings accounts, making it ideal for specific future goals.
  4. Custodial Accounts: Designed for minors, these accounts allow adults to save on behalf of a child, teaching financial responsibility early and building a foundation for their future.

Each of these PSECU savings options is backed by our commitment to competitive rates and secure banking, ensuring your money is safe while it grows.

Maximizing Your Interest-Earning Potential

Making your money work harder is a key objective for many savers, and PSECU offers several ways to maximize your interest-earning potential. It's not just about depositing money; it's about making informed choices that accelerate your growth. One primary strategy is to consolidate your savings into accounts that offer the highest possible yield, such as our high-yield savings or Money Market accounts, especially as your balance grows.

Another effective method is to set up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings. This 'set it and forget it' approach ensures consistent contributions, which compound more effectively over time. Even small, regular deposits can significantly impact your overall earnings due to the power of compounding. Consider staggering your Share Certificates (CDs) with different maturity dates to create a CD ladder, allowing you to access portions of your savings periodically while still benefiting from higher, locked-in rates. For more insights into personal finance, resources like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau offer valuable guidance.

Finally, regularly review your PSECU savings account statements to understand how much interest you're earning and to ensure you're taking advantage of all available features. As your financial situation changes, so might the best place for your savings. PSECU provides the flexibility and options to adapt your savings strategy to keep your earning potential at its peak.
