Savings accounts & certificates
Financial well-being starts with a Savings Account.
Whether you’re saving for a rainy day, a new home or6.49 your child’s college education, we can help you set and meet your savings goals. At TruStone Financial, we make it easy for you to keep more of your money. Plus, all of your savings are insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
Grow your funds steadily.
Primary Share
With a deposit of just $5, this account is not just your way into the credit union, it’s also the first step for anyone looking to start saving. It’s a great way to save for that family vacation or any big-ticket item you have on your wish list. You’ll earn dividends and receive a quarterly statement that outlines all of your activity.
Money Market
This account is for the serious saver and requires a minimum deposit of $2,500. With our Money Market account, you’ll get bigger dividends that grow as you continue to save.
Certificate
If you want a slightly bigger commitment than a traditional savings account, a certificate might be right for you. Certificates require that your money remain in the accounts for a certain period of time, but provide greater dividends. Dividends are compounded and credited at the end of each quarter and at maturity.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
To enjoy a comfortable retirement, it’s crucial you have enough income to cover your living expenses. Prepare for your golden years by opening an IRA. The two most common plans are Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Each plan offers different tax advantages and benefits, and we offer savings accounts and certificates for both plans.
Traditional IRAs allow you to make tax-deductible contributions, and your taxes are deferred until you begin making withdrawals. With a Roth IRA, you make contributions with after-tax dollars and your withdrawals are potentially tax-free.

CERTIFICATE INFORMATION:
Minimum Balance - Minimum balance to open a certificate is $500. If you are under age 18, the minimum balance to open a 12 month MoneyWise Certificate is $25. Renewal Policy – Automatically renewable certificate accounts will have up to a 10-business-day grace period after the maturity date to withdraw or close the account. Accrued dividends will be paid during the 10-day grace period. For certificate accounts that do not automatically renew at maturity, dividends will no longer be paid. Early withdrawal penalties – Penalties may be imposed if you withdraw any of the principal in your account before the maturity date. The penalty will equal 90 days’ dividends on your account if the original term is one year or less. The penalty will equal 365 days’ dividends on your account if the original term is greater than one year. If a certificate is withdrawn within 6 calendar days after the account is opened, a penalty of at least 7 days’ dividends will be assessed. If the account is part of an IRA, see your plan disclosure for details on penalty exceptions.

Updated on April 29, 2024 10:04:20 AM EDT
Monday’s bond market has opened in positive territory, extending overnight gains. Stocks are starting the week with early gains also. The Dow is up 83 points while the Nasdaq is up 29 points. The bond market is currently up 4/32 (4.64%), which should improve this morning’s mortgage rates by approximately .125 of a discount point.
We don’t have anything scheduled for today that is expected to affect mortgage rates. The rest of the week has seven monthly or quarterly economic reports scheduled that we will be watching, two of which are considered to be highly important to the markets. We also have another FOMC meeting that has the potential to cause some fireworks midweek.
Everything starts at 8:30 AM ET tomorrow with the release of the 1st Quarter Employment Cost Index (ECI). This index tracks employer costs for wages and benefits, giving us a measurement of wage-inflation. A large increase in costs means employers will need to pass those increases into the pricing of their products and services. This is bad news for bonds and mortgage rates. A smaller increase than the 1.0% rise that market participants are predicting would be good news.
April's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) will also be posted tomorrow, but at 10:00 AM ET. The CCI is considered to be an indicator of future consumer spending. The Conference Board surveys 5,000 consumers from across the country about their personal financial situations. If sentiment is strong or rising, it is believed that consumers are more apt to make large purchases in the near future. However, if they are concerned about issues such as job security or income, they will probably delay making large purchases. The latter is better for the bond market and mortgage rates because the potential slowdown in spending would help to restrict economic growth. Forecasts show a 1-point decline from March's 104.7. The smaller the reading, the better it is for mortgage pricing.
Overall, it is going to be an interesting week for the markets and mortgage rates. We can expect to see plenty of movement in rates Wednesday due to the morning release of the ADP Employment report and ISM manufacturing index, along with the FOMC events taking place during afternoon hours. Friday has the monthly governmental Employment report being released, making it an extremely important day also. The calmest day for rates may end up being tomorrow. Due to the number of highly-influential events taking place this week, it would be prudent to keep a close eye on the markets if still floating an interest rate and closing in the near future.
