Other accounts to help you save

After opening a primary savings account, Everence Federal Credit Union offers a variety of savings products to churches and congregations.

Certificates

Everence Federal Credit Union has certificates available in maturities from three to 60 months with minimum balances of $500 to $100,000. Dividends are compounded quarterly. As with most certificates, penalties apply for early withdrawal.

Club accounts

In addition to a primary savings account, churches can set up club accounts and have them customized to your church needs. Churches may set up as many club accounts as they wish, for such things as children's departments, trustees, youth groups and other ministries. Club accounts do not have monthly maintenance fees and accounts above $50 accrue dividends.

Money markets1

Our money market accounts for churches earn dividends with limited check-writing privileges. There is no monthly fee if the daily balance does not fall below $2,500. You will receive six free checks or withdrawals each month. Fees apply for additional withdrawals2.

Simplified employee pension1

In addition to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) – traditional, Roth, and educational – Everence Federal Credit Union offers simplified employee pension (SEP) plan accounts for churches wanting this service for their employees.
