Savings Accounts

You can choose between our Statement or Passbook savings account. Our Christmas Club can help you ease your holiday bills.

Statement Savings Account: Receive a statement that shows the monthly activity of your account.

Passbook Savings: Yes, we still offer our customers the old-fashioned Passbook Savings Account.

Retirement Passbook Savings Account: An economical way to start saving for retirement. Open with as little as $1.00.

Christmas Club: A great way to lessen the sting of those holiday bills.

Yes we are one of the few financial institutions that still offer the old fashioned Passbook Savings Account.  In addition, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) can be invested in a Retirement Passbook Savings Account. 

We also give our customers the choice of opening a Statement Savings account. Instead of a passbook, a statement will be mailed to you each month there is activity on your account. If there is no activity on your account a statement will be mailed to your quarterly. Those Statement Savings customers that are eligible and qualify, upon request, can also receive a FREE ATM Card. Competitive interest rates are paid on all of our savings products.
