A share savings account is a basic account that establishes your membership in the credit union. Credit unions are different from banks because every account holder is an owner of the institution, therefore, this account represents your “share” of the credit union. Each member is required to have a share savings account in order to be eligible for any other JCFCU products or services.

Share savings accounts pay dividends, similar to interest on a bank savings account. Dividends are paid at the discretion of the board of directors.
* Minimum opening deposit of $5.00 is based on setup of automatic deposit such as payroll deduction/direct deposit. Without automatic deposit, minimum opening balance is $100.00.
Unlike a savings account, which has limits on how often you can make certain types of withdrawals, a share draft account allows members to make frequent withdrawals and payments.

A Share Certificate is similar to a certificate of deposit (CD) issued by a bank. This account pays a guaranteed dividend if held for a specific period or term. Funds are not "liquid" and a penalty is assessed if any portion of the principal is withdrawn before maturity. Share certificates typically earn higher dividends than a regular savings, checking or money market account.
