    Savings Accounts – It All Starts Here


    You know what good friends do? They look out for you. And they give it to you straight, whether it's advice or a pat on the back. So here's the bottom line. We will do right by you, starting with our dividend-earning Share Savings Account. Open it today and you're automatically a member with an ownership share in Lake County Educational FCU.

    The motto “once a member, always a member” applies as long as the Share account remains open. This provides voting privileges and eligibility to use all non-profit credit union products and services.

    It's pretty simple: Deposit your money, watch it grow, and start making a difference in your financial life with a credit union that cares about what you're trying to accomplish.

    CDs – High Yield, Zero Risk

    Lake County Educational FCU offers its members a safe and easy way to invest their money. Whether you are looking for a short or long-term investment, we have a certificate that will work toward helping you reach your financial goals.

    A Credit Union Certificate is the equivalent of a bank Certificate of Deposit (CD). It’s a smart option if you don’t need instant access to your money, and want to earn higher dividends than you can with a Savings Account. Our Certificate’s guaranteed rate of return makes it easier to estimate your money’s growth. As with all of our accounts, our certificates are federally-insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for at least $250,000.

    Open with as little as $1,000. You’ll accrue dividends for a set period of time, or “term.” When your term is up, you can withdraw your money and earnings. Otherwise, you can renew your certificate at current rates.

    How it Works

    • Choose from Terms of 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 Months.
    • No Monthly Maintenance Fees.
    • Dividend Rates are Guaranteed and Locked-In for the Term of Your Certificate, Compounded and Paid Quarterly. See Rates
    • Free Online Banking
    • Free Mobile Banking
    • E-Statements
    • Early Cancellation Penalty = Up to 180 Days of Dividends.
