Frequently Asked Questions About Share Savings Account
Is prime share a savings account?
Yes, share accounts are what you would call a savings account at a bank. Since credit unions are owned and controlled by their members, this account represents your share of the financial cooperative, hence sharing savings.
How does a credit union savings account work?
The share account at credit unions varies based on the one you select. However, in general, when opening a share account at a credit union, they will pay you an annual dividend based on the amount of money you have saved. Since credit unions are owned and run by their members, they use dividends to improve the member experience instead of paying external shareholders.
What is a dividend in a savings accounts?
Dividends are similar to receiving interest. We call it a dividend, while your local bank probably calls it interest. Either way, it’s the money we pay you for keeping your money at the credit union.
