Secure your future with smart savings strategies.
Wescom Credit Union offers a range of savings accounts to help members grow their money. Options include Regular Savings, Money Market Accounts, and Certificate Accounts, each designed with different benefits and earning potentials. Members can easily open an account online or in person to start saving securely.
At Wescom Credit Union, we understand that saving money is a fundamental step towards financial well-being. Our savings accounts are designed to provide a secure place for your funds while offering competitive dividends. Unlike checking accounts, savings accounts are primarily for accumulating funds over time, rather than for frequent transactions. This distinction helps members separate their spending money from their savings goals, whether it's for a down payment, a vacation, or an emergency fund.
We offer various types of savings solutions, each tailored to different financial strategies. For instance, our basic Regular Savings account establishes your membership and provides a foundation for all other services. Other options, like Money Market Accounts and Certificate Accounts, offer higher earning potential for those who can commit funds for longer periods or maintain higher balances. Understanding these differences is key to choosing the right account for your individual needs and maximizing your savings potential with Wescom Credit Union.
Wescom Credit Union provides a selection of savings accounts to meet diverse member objectives. Each account type is structured to offer specific advantages, ensuring there’s a suitable option for everyone, from new savers to experienced investors.
Each of these accounts helps Wescom Credit Union members work towards their financial aspirations with confidence, knowing their deposits are federally insured by the NCUA up to the maximum allowed by law.
When you choose Wescom Credit Union for your savings needs, you're not just opening an account; you're becoming part of a member-focused financial institution. Our commitment to our members is reflected in the benefits we offer, designed to help your money grow securely and efficiently.

Absolutely. Wescom Credit Union offers convenient online banking and a mobile app that allows you to monitor your savings account activity, transfer funds, and manage your finances from anywhere, at any time. This makes tracking your savings progress simple and accessible.
A Regular Savings Account is the basic membership account with a lower minimum balance and standard dividend rates, ideal for foundational savings. A Money Market Account typically requires a higher minimum balance but offers more competitive dividend rates and allows for a limited number of transactions per month, providing a balance between higher earnings and some liquidity.
Wescom Credit Union Certificate Accounts (CDs) allow you to deposit a lump sum for a fixed period, ranging from a few months to several years. In return, you earn a higher, fixed dividend rate for the entire term. This option is suited for funds you won't need to access immediately, as early withdrawals may incur penalties.
