April 2025

April is National Financial Literacy Month, and we support the mission to bring financial education to all. Here are a few ways to get a start on your savings or to give your current savings a boost – we’re here for you and to support your goals!

• WINcentive® Savings– When you open a WINcentive Savings account, you save money AND are entered automatically in drawings for cash prizes! You can start with as little as $5 and can earn up a maximum of 4 prize drawing entries each month when you increase your month-over-month balance by $25. Grow those savings and earn more chances to win!
• Stash Your Cash – Round up the amount of each purchase with your Affinity Plus Visa® debit card and that spare change will go straight to your selected savings account. If you choose to have your spare change go to a WINcentive Savings account, you can earn prize drawing entries. Watch the savings quickly add up!
• Superior Money Market – This savings option provides higher dividend rates for members who meet the requirements. Build your savings faster!
• Certificates – If you’re looking to invest in savings that are a bit more long-term, we offer 13- and 24-month Certificates that offer predictable earnings thanks to the rate you lock in for the entire term. Say hello to easy savings!

Take advantage of one or more of our savings options and start building a secure financial future.
