Regular Share Savings Account
Our Regular Share Savings Account does more than hold your savings. It opens the door to everything we have to offer.
Your Key to Belonging Starts Here
Opening a Regular Share Savings Account isn’t just a formality. It’s your first, most important step toward becoming part of something better. This account is your key to a Piedmont Advantage membership. With this key, you unlock more than access to our products and services, you gain a community that sees you as a member, not a number.
The benefits of opening your Regular Share Savings Account include the following:
Ownership Starts with Just $5
Your initial deposit of at least $5 buys you a share in the credit union. It’s a small step with a big impact because you’re not just joining a financial institution. You’re helping to shape it.
Open the Door to All PACU Products and So Much More
Your membership unlocks access to checking accounts, auto loans, credit cards and more, all with our signature Simply Service and competitive rates.
As a member, you’re part of a community that believes in trust, service and putting members and employees first.
Safe, Secure and Insured
Your deposits are federally insured by NCUA up to $250,000, giving you security and stability as you build your savings, just like banks, which are federally insured by the FDIC, up to the same amount of $250,000.
Open Your Share Savings Account with Ease
Review the required documents beforehand to make the process seamless.
Savings Calculator
With the PACU Savings Calculator, you can see just how fast your money can grow when it’s working with you. At PACU, dividends (a.k.a. interest) are compounded daily and credited monthly. This means you earn interest on your savings and then interest on that interest.
More about Dividends: At PACU, we frequently use the word dividends, not just interest, to emphasize that you’re earning a share of our success as a member-owner.
