Savings Club
At First Federal, we work together to make saving easier so you can achieve and celebrate your goals, both big and small.
Your Savings Club account helps you set aside funds that will be paid out on a specific date before the holidays. Understanding you’ll lose the account’s bonus interest if you withdraw prior to that date adds incentive and reward to your savings practice. Saving a little into this account throughout the year removes much of the financial stress of holiday spending. You can even set up an automatic transfer from your regular checking or savings account on a schedule of your choosing.
Savings Club is just one way First Federal is committed to practical financial success—just like you.
