Find the Right Account for Your Financial Needs

couple-choosing-right-accountIf you’ve got some money and are considering opening an account at a financial institution, you’ve made a smart choice! Now you must choose from several different account options available at credit unions or banks. Maybe you’re looking to grow your money as quickly as you can and a sophisticated option like a money market account is a good option. On the other hand, you may just need straightforward access to your hard-earned cash in a simple checking account. There are a lot of things you can do with your money with just as many account types to choose from and, let’s face it, that can be overwhelming. Let us help you out.

Here at USALLIANCE, we offer a full range of financial products and services to help you personalize your financial journey. Take a look at the wide range of options we offer to see which accounts are right for you.

MyLife Money Market: For Driving Dividends

With USALLIANCE’s MyLife Money Market Account, you will earn more interest as you save. When your account balance grows, so will your interest rate – increasing those dividends.

Benefits of a MyLife Money Market Account:

  • Dividends paid monthly
  • 24/7 access to your funds
  • No monthly maintenance fees
  • No minimum to open
  • No minimum balance requirement

Money market accounts often offer higher interest rates in exchange for minimum balances and limiting the number of withdrawals you can make, encouraging you to save more.

If you plan on growing some serious savings and are interested in earning higher interest, then a MyLife Money Market Account may be right for you!

With a USALLIANCE High Dividend Savings Account, you’ll enjoy:

  • Daily compounding interest
  • No monthly maintenance fees
  • Funds insured up to $250,00 by the NCUA
  • Earning dividends after $500 minimum balance is met

Who doesn’t want more return on their investment? A High Dividend Savings Account is a great option for those who feel comfortable keeping a healthy amount in their accounts while looking to grow their hard-earned cash.

Certificate Accounts: For Saving Big on a Timeline

Certificate Account savings grow more than most account types. A Certificate Account promises higher interest rates in exchange for leaving money untouched for a pre-selected term of your choosing.

In general, the longer you wait, the better the rate.

We know that sometimes your funds need to be out of sight, out of mind for a while in order to grow. We’ll help you pass the time with the following perks:

  • Choose your desired term
  • Choose the rate that best fits your financial goals
  • Interest compounds daily and is credited monthly
  • Open an account with as little as $500

Should I Open a Certificate Account?

Certificate Accounts are a great way to earn high interest, but you must be confident in leaving your money untouched for the agreed-to amount of time. Luckily, at USALLIANCE, we offer terms as little as three-months to get started with low minimum balances across the board.
