Share Savings Accounts FAQs

Our Share Savings Account is the same as a traditional savings account. At Legacy, we use the term “share” because this savings account represents your share of the credit union as a member and part owner.

Even though they work as regular savings accounts, Share Savings Accounts normally offer higher interest rates, lower minimum to open, and fewer fees than the savings accounts offered by other financial institutions.

This account is your gateway to becoming a member of our credit union and enjoying all the benefits that come from being a member and part owner.

We provide various financial solutions, including Money Market Accounts, Share Certificates, and specialized club accounts. Contact us for more details.

You’ll need a valid government-issued ID and social security number to open an account.

Yes, you can do both! It’s handy for joint financial objectives or managing family funds.

No. Your deposits at Legacy are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), not by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
