Shares
A minimum amount of $5 is all you need to apply for membership in the credit union. This $5 (one share) is actually a savings account. You can add to your share account at any time. Your share represents your ownership in the credit union. As a member-owner, you have the right to vote on the election of board and credit committee members, who oversee the management of the credit union.

Saving at your credit union provides these other great benefits:
- Your one share investment in the credit union typically pays above-market dividends.
- Your money earns dividends from the day of deposit to the day of withdrawal. Dividends are paid on the last day of the quarter.
- Your credit union deposits are safe and secure. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent agency of the federal government, protects every dollar deposited up to $250,000 with the credit union.
- As an added benefit, shareholders are eligible for a Life Insurance Policy. The Life Insurance Policy is paid for by the credit union and contains a special provision for accidental death, dismemberment, and loss of sight. (Certificates available upon request).
