Share (Savings) Accounts

Membership at Badlands FCU begins when you open a share account. The basic share account is also the ownership you have in the Credit Union.

Opening a minimum $25.00 share account offers full membership privileges and qualifies you for all Credit Union services. All regular share accounts receive competitive monthly dividends.

Share account holders can choose to receive an ATM card that gives them 24/7 access to the funds maintained in their share account.

Share accounts will receive a quarterly statement detailing the previous 3 months’ worth of activity on the account. The statements will listed detailed information on all transactions and account balances.

The dividend rate is determined monthly by the Credit Union Board of Directors and is subject to change.

Club Accounts

In order to open a club account, you must first have a share account. You can open club accounts to help keep money separate for certain uses.

There is no minimum amount needed to maintain a club account. All club accounts receive monthly dividends.

The dividend rate is determined monthly by the Credit Union Board of Directors and is subject to change.

Christmas Club Accounts

Join the Christmas Club program which begins November 1st each year and earns a monthly dividend. Deposits can be made by check, cash, or payroll deduction.

You can add to the account at any time during the year. No withdrawals will be allowed on this club account prior to the November 1st disbursement. Funds are disbursed to your share account on November 1st each year and you will be contacted at this time to see if you are still interested in continuing in the Christmas Club program.

This club account is intended for the purpose of saving for Christmas. It shall not be used in the place of a share account or certificate of deposit account for a higher interest rate.

Share Certificates (CD's)

Share certificates are similar to bank's Certificates of Deposits (CD's). If you want higher dividend rates and do not need immediate access to your funds then Share Certificates are for you.

The minimum balance to open a certificate account is $1,000. We offer two different terms: 6 months and 12 months. Dividends are applied at the maturity of the certificate.

There is a penalty for early withdrawal of a certificate. If you choose to break a 6 month term early there is a 90 day interest penalty and if you choose to break a 12 month term early there is a 180 day interest penalty.

Health Savings Accounts

If you currently have a High Deductible Health Plan, you can choose to open a Health Savings Account. This account gives you the ability to set money aside to be used to help pay for medical expenses. The money you deposit in this account each year can be used as a tax deduction each year and will not be taxed if the money was used to pay qualified medical expenses. A Health Savings Account will earn a monthly dividend.

The Credit Union is not responsible for determining if you have a High Deductible Health Plan or what a qualified medical expense is.

The dividend rate is determined monthly by the Credit Union Board of Directors and is subject to change.
