Unlock Premium Rates Through Membership Dedication

Platinum Savings is a benefit reserved for members who’ve demonstrated trust and consistency with DFCU. Eligibility is simple but meaningful—just the way membership should be.

To qualify, you’ll need at least one year of DFCU membership, a $10,000 average balance maintained over the past 12 months, and a $10,000 minimum opening deposit. Once opened, you’ll have seamless access to your funds through online, mobile, and in-branch banking.

Your loyalty opens the door to exclusive returns and priority-level savings treatment.

How It Works

The DFCU Platinum Savings Account gives you the best of both worlds: strong returns and complete liquidity. Your deposits are placed securely with FDIC-insured banks and NCUA-insured credit unions, while all account management remains directly through DFCU—your trusted financial partner.

Deposits may occasionally be limited based on program capacity, but your funds are always available for transfer into other DFCU products or for personal use. It’s a savings solution that grows with your needs while keeping your money close at hand.
