Choose from the benefits below to discover the savings account made just for you:

I am looking to build a short-term savings strategy

that provides immediate access to my funds. I am okay with a lower dividend if it means I can transfer or withdraw money as soon as I need it.

your result: savings

Our Savings account lets you slowly earn interest while maintaining full access to your money whenever you need it.

I am looking to build a mid-term savings strategy

that provides easy access to my funds. I can plan ahead for accessibility needs and really just want to earn higher dividends than I would with a regular savings. I am not at a point where I can set aside money for a predetermined amount of time with no plans to withdraw funds.

your result: money market

Our Money Market savings account helps you earn dividends more aggressively than in our primary savings while still maintaining access to your money when you plan ahead.

I am ready to build a long-term savings strategy

and have the ability to set aside funds for a long period of time. I don’t need to withdraw the funds and want a high return on my investment. I am also looking for more options in regards to interest rates and length of deposit period.

your result: CD

Our Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts allow flexible and aggressive earning with a variety of term lengths.

I am ready to plan for life after my career

and want the highest return on my investment with the added benefit of tax advantages. I can set money aside for a long period of time and have no plans to use that money before I am able to withdraw funds.

your result: IRA

Our IRA account helps you set aside tax-free money so you can save for a comfortable retirement.
