Money Market Accounts
Keeping a portion of your money portfolio in a “safe place” doesn’t mean it can’t keep earning for you. With Patriot’s Credit Union Insured Money Market Account (CUIMMA), you could earn a higher dividend rate than in a standard savings account if you have a balance of at least $2,500. Other Patriot Money Market Account benefits include:
- $1,000 minimum balance to open the account
- No fees
- Dividends paid weekly (on balances of $2,500 or more)
- Unlimited deposits
- Unlimited in-person withdrawals
- Check writing capabilities
- Tiered rate structure offers members with higher balances an increased interest rate on deposits
Prime Share Savings Accounts
Our basic savings account only requires a minimum deposit of $5, which gives you part ownership of the credit union. This is considered our membership account, so no matter what products or services you have with us, you will also have a prime share savings account available to use at any time. Only looking for a savings account? This account can be opened as a standalone account too.
- Low minimum balance of $5
- Unlimited deposits
- Unlimited in-person withdrawals
- Account balance can be used as overdraft protection for a checking account
Youth Savings Accounts
With Patriot’s youth programs, children to young adults—from grade school to college—can rely on Patriot, their local credit union to provide them with the products and services they need to succeed in life.
