Delta Community Credit Union savings overview

Delta Community Credit Union’s Personal Savings account can be opened with only $5, and it has no monthly fee. The yield, however, is below average, and it isn’t as competitive as Delta Community’s CDs.

Customers can open supplementary savings accounts dedicated to specific goals, such as saving for a new car. These additional accounts earn the same rate as the primary savings account.

While it’s possible to link the savings account to a checking account to cover overdrafts, there’s a $3 fee each time money is transferred from the savings account for such cases.

The credit union also offers youth savings accounts for children 12 and under.

Pros

  • Checkmark

    Only $5 is needed to open a Personal Savings Account.

  • Checkmark

    All balances earn interest.

  • Checkmark

    Customers can open additional savings funds for specific goals.

Cons

  • Other banks and credit unions offer much higher savings rates.

  • Account holders with combined deposits and loans balances that fall below $60 who make no transactions for six months may incur a $5 a month inactive account or low balance fee. (This fee is $0 for account owners 17 years old or younger.)

  • If funds are transferred from the savings account to cover an overdraft, a $3 fee applies.
