Savings Accounts

Federally insured by NCUA

Premium Savings

Earn dividends on tiered rates, starting with a minimum balance of $500. Perfect for those able to invest greater balances. Includes all the perks of a Regular Savings account, plus the ability to write up to 6 checks per month.

Regular Savings

Our basic savings account, offering competitive dividend rates and no monthly service fee with eStatements. Start and maintain an account for as little as $5. A Regular Savings account includes FREE Online Banking, Phonebank, Mobile and Text Banking. You can also use the account for overdraft protection.

Launch Money Market

Astronomical returns on small balances to help fuel your savings journey. Launch Money Market pays a premium dividend rate on low balances. As balances grow, you’ll continue to earn a competitive blended rate. Best for balances of $5,000 or less.

Additional Savings Accounts

If you already have an account and want to add more saving power, this is the place to do that. Start and maintain an additional savings account for as little as $5. Simply select “I am an existing Vantage West Credit Union Member” on the next page to get started.

High Yield Money Markets

For those able to invest amounts of $10,000 or more, High Yield Money Market accounts offer the security of Share Certificates but with convenient access to your money. Enjoy unlimited deposits and withdrawals1 when made at Vantage West ATMs and immediate access to your funds and regular dividends.

Certificates (CDs)

Vantage West Certificates (CDs) provide a secure investment and returns far superior to a savings account. We offer certificates (CDs) that range in terms from 6 to 60 months and require a minimum deposit of $500 with no maximum.

Jump-Up Certificates

If the rate goes up, you go with it. You can jump up to a higher rate once during the certificate’s term. This type of account is a secure way to invest for a specified term and achieve higher earnings than you would in a savings account.

IRAs & IRA Certificates (CDs)

Vantage West IRAs and IRA Certificate (CD) accounts give you a safe way to save for retirement while providing you with potential tax benefits. We offer both Premium Share IRAs and IRA certificates (CDs) as either Traditional or Roth featuring specific tax advantages. Learn the differences between a Traditional and Roth IRA to find out which is right for you.

Super Saver Club For Kids

Help your child learn to save early. When the account is opened, the child will receive:

  • A coloring book that promotes good financial habits
  • A slinky
  • A savings chart (to help track savings)
  • With each deposit, an “I’m a Super Saver” sticker
