The personal service and care I receive from Leaders is second to none. Their outstanding online and mobile presence makes banking easier for me and my often-times hectic lifestyle. At the end of the day, I know they have my best interests in mind.

Jason A. Sykes

Your financial champion was fantastic in opening an account for my oldest daughter. He took the time to answer all the questions we had about the process, even the bonus ones thrown his way by my other kids. I cannot say enough great things about Leaders and how thankful I am bank with you!

Amanda D. Stewart

Future Leader Savings

Our experience in getting a HELOC from Leaders was awesome! We were able to complete the paperwork and get it funded very quickly. Once it was funded, we were able to move money from that account into our checking account, all through the Leaders mobile app.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Certificates

Can I open a savings account online?: Yes. You can join Leaders Credit Union and open your new savings account online in just a few minutes.

Is there a minimum deposit to open a savings account?: 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.

Do I need to be a Leaders member to open a savings account?: 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.

What are dividends?: 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.

What are the dividend tiers for Term Share Certificates?: Leaders’ Term Share Certificate dividends are based on the term you choose. Earn APY¹ for a 3-month term, 2.50% APY¹ for a 6-month term, 3.00% APY¹ for a 12-month term, 3.00% APY¹ for a 24-month term, 3.00% APY¹ for a 36-month term, and our maximum percentage, 3.00% APY¹, for a 48- or 60-month term.

What is a pledged savings account?: When we say that our term-share certificates are pledged, we mean that you can neither deposit additional money or withdraw funds until the term has ended. At the end of the term, you may withdraw your funds or roll them into a new term to earn more money.
