There are many different ways to save.

Being able to put money aside—for your retirement, for a rainy day, for that much-needed family vacation—is really empowering. DC Credit Union has a range of savings options designed to meet your particular savings needs.

The benefits

When you open a Savings Account with DC Credit Union, you can start making plans for the future and invest in what most matters to you.

Put money aside for a special occasion

Whether it’s a much-needed family vacation, a new home, or emergency expenses, our savings account options give you the freedom to plan for tomorrow.

Earn dividends on your money

The more money you save, the higher your interest rate will be, which means you’ll earn more money in dividends each month. And the best part? You don’t have to do anything special to earn higher dividends. Just keep saving, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Build your retirement savings

Investing in your future has never been easier. Our team of financial experts is dedicated to helping you maximize your retirement savings and achieve your financial goals. With personalized customer service and low fees, you’ll have all the support you need to make the most of your investments.

The Share Savings is your investment in our cooperative. The $5 initial deposit becomes your “share” in the credit union, and gives you the right to vote and/or run for our board of directors, as well as take advantage of all DC Credit Union has to offer.

Yes, it is your money to withdraw as you’d like. But we hope you use these accounts to save for that special vacation or to fund a stress-free holiday, and have structured the accounts to encourage as few withdrawals as possible. If you’re saving for a different reason, talk to us and we’ll help you find an account that is most suited for that.

No. You just need an initial deposit of $5. That’s it.
