Savings Accounts: Empower Your Financial Future

Savings isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re planning for retirement, preparing for a mission, or simply setting aside for a rainy day, DFCU offers tailored accounts with competitive yields and zero monthly fees. Each option is backed by member-first service and values you can trust.

Membership Savings Account

Your DFCU membership starts here. A Membership Savings Account gives you access to our full suite of products and services with just a $5 opening deposit. Earn dividends on every balance, transfer funds online at any time, and link your savings for overdraft protection.

It's the simple, reliable savings option that starts your membership on solid ground. After you open a Membership Savings Account, you can then open an unlimited number of other accounts (we call them Special Savings Accounts) for things like goals, budgeting, or vacations.
