Establishing and maintaining savings is a very important part of any good family finance plan. Typically, a family should have at least 3 to 6 months of take-home pay saved in an account that can be liquidated quickly and at minimal cost. This cushion will ensure that you and your family can withstand any emergency, short-term illness, job change, or unexpected housing expense.
Here are several Savings Options that Honda Federal Credit Union has available:
Regular Savings:
With great features like a competitive rate, a $5.00 minimum balance requirement, ATM access, interest calculated daily, and paid monthly, and a convenient quarterly statement, this is the perfect account for your everyday needs.
Secondary Savings:
Open as many Secondary Savings Accounts as you like to assist you and your family with saving for special purchases or events. There is a $5.00 minimum balance requirement if opened through eShares. No minimum balance required to open the account if opened at the branch or over the phone.
Holiday Savings Club:
Set aside funds throughout the year to be ready for your holiday shopping. With the Holiday Savings Club, there are no maintenance fees and it only takes $5 to open an account. The balance of your account will be available to you by November 1 of each year once the account is opened. By saving a set amount each pay period, you’ll be able to afford everything on your wish list without paying any interest! And you’ll earn 1%* above our current regular savings rate on the money you save!
Premier Savings Account:
