Overview
How it works
Our Christmas Club account is a great way to be prepared for holiday spending when you put aside some savings each month. Set up automatic transfers from your checking account to make saving simple. Early withdrawals on the account are restricted, so you’ll have a reason not to spend the money. Then, on November 1st, the funds are distributed back into your primary share account, right in time for the start of the holiday season and holiday shopping.
- Start from anywhere: $0 minimum deposit to open, $0 minimum balance required
- Set up automatic transfers to make saving effortless
- Earns monthly dividends
