Savings accounts & certificates
Financial well-being starts with a Savings Account.
Whether you’re saving for a rainy day, a new home or 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.

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.

Monday’s bond market has opened in positive territory following favorable economic news. Stocks are starting the week mixed with the Dow down 75 points and the Nasdaq up 22 points. The bond market is currently up 6/32 (3.67%), but heavy selling Friday is going to cause this morning’s rates to be higher by approximately .250 - .375 of a discount compared to Friday’s early pricing.
April’s Factory Orders data was one of the two economic reports that were posted late this morning. The Commerce Department announced a 0.4% increase in new orders at U.S. factories, falling short of the 0.8% rise that was expected. The smaller increase hints at slower than thought economic activity, making the report good news for mortgage rates.
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) gave us their service index, announcing a reading of 50.3% that was also weaker than forecasts. As with last week’s manufacturing index from the ISM, a weaker reading is good news for bonds and mortgage rates because it is a sign of slowing economic activity.
Tomorrow doesn’t have anything scheduled that we need to be concerned with. The rest of the week brings almost nothing that is likely to change rates. There are no Treasury auctions or Fed events to watch, not even Fed members speeches since they are in their pre-FOMC meeting quiet period.
Overall, today may be the most active day for rates this week. The best candidate for the calmest day is practically any other day expect today. There is a good chance that the markets and mortgage rates will be much more stable than we have seen over the past few weeks, unless something unexpected happens. If closing soon and still floating an interest rate, it would be a good idea to keep an eye on the markets as they can get volatile without notice. However, it appears this week carries a much lower risk level for floating a rate than recent weeks.
