These accounts often come with additional perks, making your everyday banking not just easy, but also more rewarding.

Building a secure financial future often starts with a solid savings plan.

Our savings options offer competitive interest rates, allowing your money to grow steadily over time.
With OCCU savings accounts, you benefit from easy access to your funds when needed, while still earning a return. We prioritize transparency in our rates and terms, so you always know how your money is performing. Start building your nest egg today with an OCCU savings account that aligns with your aspirations.
For members looking to earn higher interest rates than a traditional savings account without sacrificing liquidity, an OCCU money market account is an excellent choice. These accounts combine the best features of both checking and savings, allowing you to access your funds with limited transactions while earning a tiered interest rate that typically increases with higher balances.
OCCU money market accounts are ideal for housing larger sums of money that you might need to access periodically but want to keep working for you. They offer a more attractive return than standard savings, making them suitable for mid-term financial goals or as a holding place for funds before a larger investment. You maintain flexibility with check-writing capabilities and debit card access (where applicable), giving you control over your money.
"Money market accounts offer a unique blend of accessibility and higher earning potential, making them a smart option for many savers."
Understanding how money market accounts function is key to making them work for you. Unlike traditional checking, they often have transaction limits, which helps maintain their higher interest rates. For more information on how these accounts are regulated, you can refer to resources like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
When you're looking for a low-risk way to guarantee returns on your savings, OCCU Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are a strong option. CDs allow you to lock in a specific interest rate for a fixed period, known as the term, providing predictability and security for your investment. This means your earnings are guaranteed, regardless of market fluctuations, making them a cornerstone of a stable financial plan.
OCCU offers a range of CD terms, from a few months to several years, allowing you to choose an option that perfectly matches your financial horizon. Whether you're saving for a short-term goal or planning for retirement, there's an OCCU CD that can help you reach it. The longer the term, the higher the interest rate typically offered, rewarding you for committing your funds for a longer period.
CDs are federally insured, providing an extra layer of security for your deposits. This makes them an exceptionally safe choice for conservative investors seeking reliable growth. Consult with an OCCU representative to understand the various CD rates and terms available to find the best fit for your long-term savings strategy.
While checking, savings, money market accounts, and CDs form the foundation of personal banking, OCCU understands that your financial journey often requires more. We offer a suite of additional individual financial services designed to support your complete financial well-being. These services extend beyond simple deposits and withdrawals, providing tools and resources for various life stages and financial needs.
For instance, OCCU provides options for secure safe deposit boxes, offering a protected place for your important documents and valuables. We also offer financial literacy resources and personalized guidance to help members make informed decisions about their money. Our goal is to be a trusted partner in all aspects of your financial life, not just for your everyday transactions.
From assistance with managing your credit to planning for major life events, OCCU is committed to offering solutions that address the full spectrum of your personal banking requirements. We encourage members to explore all the resources available to them, ensuring they can achieve both their immediate and long-term financial objectives with confidence and support.
