Your Credit Union share of ownership equals $25 and must be maintained in your share (or savings) account for the life of your membership. In addition, you may use this share account as your traditional savings account. All memberships are insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA share fund.
Special Purpose Savings Accounts (Club Accounts) are a convenient way to set aside funds for budgeted items—such as property taxes, holidays, or fuel. Members may add regularly to these accounts through automated deductions or one lump sum, allowing you to watch your savings grow as you budget for long-term or short-term goals. There are no minimum balance requirements or deposits required on these accounts. They can be linked to a savings goal within eBranch, HFCU's online banking platform—making meeting your financial goals even more manageable.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-friendly savings accounts that allow you to build a fund for future medical expenses. You can open an HSA if you have a qualified high-deductible health plan. If you don't use all the money in your account by December 31, any remaining balance will roll into next year's HSA. Health Savings Accounts must be opened by the primary account holder at least 18.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) were created to offer people a way to save for retirement and take advantage of certain tax benefits.
There are a variety of types of IRA accounts that members may choose to open:
• Traditional
• Roth
Although you can't deduct your entire IRA contribution on your income taxes, the dividends earned in this account are deferred until withdrawn. You can make small payroll deductions each week, which will build up to large amounts of money over time. Starting your retirement savings early can help you avoid straining your cash flow when taxes are due. Check with your tax preparer or adviser for more information about possible tax benefits.
You can invest in an IRA Payroll Account or an IRA Term Share Certificate. With a payroll account, you can have your savings withdrawn from your paycheck and deposited directly into the retirement fund; it’s that easy!
Term Share Certificates are a form of investment where your deposits earn higher dividend rates than traditional deposit accounts. Terms are available to meet your individual needs. Certificates may be opened at any time.

You must notify us in writing before, or within the 10-day grace period after, the maturity date, if you do not want the account to automatically renew.
