Saving Will Give You Both Roots and Wings
Savings with benefits
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial institutions owned by their members, rather than by shareholders. Opening a savings account at Abilene Teachers Federal Credit Union establishes your membership.
You Set the Goal & We'll Help You Get There
-
You're an Owner!
When you open a standard Savings Account you become a member of the credit union. Pretty good deal for a $5 deposit. -
No Monthly Fees
You save and we'll help. No annoying monthly or minimum balance fees to slow your progress. -
Overdraft Transfer
Mistakes happen. Set up overdraft transfer from your savings to your checking account. No fee. No kidding.
Why Save?
Saving for the future is the #1 piece of financial advice. We hear it so often that we’ve stopped paying attention. Bottom line, savings will cushion you from life’s obstacles and can make dreams come true. Which of these reasons speaks loudest to you?

Basic Savings - Plant Your Roots
Begin your savings journey with a Traditional Savings Account and you’ll have options when you need them. Financial advisors consistently tell consumers to ‘pay yourself first‘ in order to keep an emergency from derailing your budgeting plan. The ability to handle unexpected expenses will give you peace of mind and keep you moving toward your goals. This account establishes your membership at the credit union and makes you a member-owner of Abilene Teachers FCU.
-
Special Savings - Spread Your Wings
Open a Money Market Savings Account when you’re saving for a short to medium term goal such at holiday expenses, travel or new kitchen appliances. These accounts pay more interest than a traditional savings account but don’t tie up your money for a specified period like a Savings Certificate. And, because a Money Market account is designated as ‘non-transactional’, you won’t be tempted to impulsively dip into your funds.

April S., Member since 2011I became a member of the credit union when my husband and I joined accounts. I came from a large corporate bank, and the difference was a breath of fresh air! I’ve always felt welcomed and ‘a part of the family’ when I complete transactions at the credit union. They have helped us through everyday transactions, fraudulent transactions, auto loans and personal loan advice. I always advise people to go to Abilene Teachers!
