For Educators or anyone who is paid on a 21-26 or 22-26 payroll payment plan, we have a savings program that will help you manage your funds to carry you through the lean months. Deposits are made to this account every pay period. You draw on these funds during the summer when you do not receive a paycheck. And you earn a market rate of interest on your funds.

Fixed Rate Certificates
By investing your funds into a Certificate of Deposit, your money earns a higher rate of interest. You may lock into the current rate for a variety of terms ranging from three months to five years. Our fixed rate Certificates have a minimum balance requirement to open. No additional deposits are allowed once the account is open.

Individual Retirement Accounts
To help you get the most out of your retirement dollars we offer a variety of retirement plans. The IRA Accumulator account pays a market rate of interest and allows you to make contributions throughout the year, with an open-ended maturity date. You can make deposits over-the-counter, by payroll deduction, etc. It only takes a minimum deposit of $25 to open your IRA Accumulator Account. In addition, you may invest your retirement funds in any of our Certificates of Deposit. Special eligibility rules related to earned income, total income and tax deductibility of contributions vary depending on the individual.

Market Rate Index Certificate
The Market Rate Index Certificate is a regular or retirement investment that allows you to enjoy both the benefits of the stock market and the security of a certificate. The account is an insured certificate that can have a one, two, four or seven year maturity. The Market Rate Index Certificate pays dividends based on movement of the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P500). You participate in returns of the stock market without risking your initial deposit. If the S&P500 is lower than the time of your initial deposit, you receive no dividends. If the S&P 500 is higher than when the C.D. opened, you earn a percentage of the increase of the S&P 500.

Roth IRA
The Roth IRA differs from a regular IRA in that it is funded solely by after-tax contributions. Thus, contributions are not tax deductible. However, the Roth IRA offers the possibility of tax-free withdrawals of earnings at retirement. There are higher income ceilings than the regular IRA and it can be opened in addition to a regular IRA.
