Frequently Asked Questions About
Savings Accounts

Yes. Once you are a Leaders Credit Union member, you can open a new savings account online in just a few minutes.
That depends on the account. Some of our savings accounts have no minimum deposit requirement while others do require a minimum deposit. Minimum deposits start at $10.

Yes. Credit unions are owned by members and you must join to be a member. The membership fee is a one-time charge of $25.

Dividends are money you earn for maintaining a balance in certain accounts. An account dividend is expressed as a percentage and calculated based on the average daily balance in the account for a month. Dividends are paid monthly or quarterly, depending on the account. The APY is the Annual Percentage Yield and represents the total actual percentage that a fixed sum in an account would earn in a year, including dividend accruals.

There are three dividend tiers based on your account balances. Balances between $25,000 - $49,999.99 earn 1.00% APY¹. Balances between $50,000 - $99,999.99 earn 1.25% APY¹. Balances $100,000 and over earn the highest dividends, 1.50% APY¹.

You can keep your account open if your balance goes below the minimum deposit amount. However, your APY will drop to 0.05% until your total balance once again exceeds $25,000.
