Regular Shares - Rates

  • In Credit Unions, the savings account is called the Regular Shares account. In other financial institutions, this account may be referred to as a �passbook� or �statement� account.
  • The minimum deposit of $5 is all it takes to open your membership account at HHCU. Interest (Dividends) are paid on the daily balance method and compounded quarterly. A minimum balance of $25 is required to earn dividends. Your money earns "from day in to day out".
  • These shares can be deposited in person, by mail, or direct deposit from your paycheck (if your employer offers this service).
  • These shares can be used as collateral to secure loans at a more favorable rate than other types of loans. And the shares continue to earn dividends while the loan is being repaid.
