OPEN AN ACCOUNT

Regular Savings

Membership requirements are few, but you must open a Basic Savings account to be a member of ElecTel. An initial deposit of just $1 establishes your membership and gives you ownership in the credit union. Why is this so important? As a member, you are now part owner of ElecTel. You can participate in the annual meeting and have a say in the direction of the credit union. As a member and shareholder of the credit union you get the perks of ownership, not some suits on Wall Street!

Special Savings

This is a savings account similar to the Regular Savings account. This account can be used to save for a special occasion, event, etc. Once a Regular Savings account is opened, an initial deposit of only $10 starts you earning dividend rates that are compounded daily and paid monthly on this “Special” account.

Share Certificates

ElecTel offers highly competitive dividend rates on Share Certificates for terms of 90 days to 36 months. A low $500 minimum deposit lets you maximize your yield with the complete security of NCUA insurance. You’ll also enjoy:
