Overview
Discover the benefits of an AFFCU Savings Account

Not only does an AFFCU Savings Account pay better interest than you’ll see at most financial institutions, it also opens you up to a whole new world of possibilities. A $5.00 opening deposit into your AFFCU Savings Account establishes your lifetime membership and gives you a share of ownership. As an AFFCU member, you’ll have access to our low-rate loans, reward programs, and numerous special benefits. You’ll be able to open any of our other savings accounts, including IRAs, Money Market, Share Certificates and Christmas Club accounts.
