Savings Accounts

Regular Share Accounts

Membership at BVFCU starts with a $5.00 deposit to a regular share account. This is your primary savings account, and allows you access to all other services offered by your credit union. Dividends are declared quarterly from earnings of the credit union. Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method and are paid and compounded quarterly.

Deposits can be made in person, by mail, through direct deposit, via TellerNet or 24 Hour Teller-Phone.

Withdrawals can be made in person, by mail or transfer to your BVFCU checking account. 

All deposits are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a U.S. Government Agency.

Christmas Club

BVFCU's Christmas Club accounts are continuous. A minimum deposit of $1.00 will open your account. Automatic transfer of balances is performed after September 30th dividends are posted. You can elect to have the funds transferred to your regular savings or checking account. This direct transfer feature eliminates the wait for check processing and makes Christmas shopping money available immediately. Dividends are declared and calculated the same as your regular share account.

Deposits can be made in person, by mail, through direct deposit, via TellerNet or 24 Hour Teller-Phone.

Following the transfer on October 1st, withdrawals can be made in person, by mail, by writing a check, or with your BVFCU Debit Card.
