Why Choose TPFCU for Your Savings Account?
It’s all in our name: The People’s Federal Credit Union. As a member-owned Texas credit union, we’re dedicated to serving the community, not corporate shareholders. Unlike at other financial institutions, when you open a savings account with us, you’re not just a customer—you’re a part-owner. Your $25 deposit represents your “share” in TPFCU, giving you a voice in how we operate, including voting on our Board of Directors.
We’re here to help you reach your financial goals with high-yield accounts, competitive interest rates, no monthly fees, and convenient online and mobile banking solutions. Whether you’re saving for a major purchase, an emergency fund, or your future, TPFCU makes it easy and rewarding to grow your savings.
TPFCU Standard Savings Account
To become a member of The People’s Federal Credit Union, each member must place a minimum deposit of $25 into a savings account.
Our savings account is called a “share” account, because when you become a member, your $25 investment is your “share” of the credit union and you actually become a “shareholder.” Once you have a credit union membership, you’ll have full access to our products, including online and mobile banking options, all designed to help you meet your financial goals.
Earn dividends calculated based on your average daily balance, income, and earnings on a quarterly basis.
Access dozens of no-surcharge ATMs in and around Amarillo, so you can withdraw money with no fee. Your account can be closed anytime. When you close it out, you’ll get the balance in the account plus your initial $25 investment back.
Club Savings Account
A Club Savings Account is a special savings account that you open for a specified reason to save, such as a Christmas Club Account or a Vacation Club Account. You can specify a certain amount to go into this special account each time you get paid, to reach your savings goal. A Club Savings Account can help you:
- Prepare for expenses you anticipate down the road.
- Start saving early so you can budget for holiday gifts and parties.
- Take advantage of competitive interest rates.
KIRBY KANGAROO® Kids Savings Accounts
You don’t have to be 18 years old to open a savings account with us. Kids from birth to 12 years of age qualify to open a KIRBY KANGAROO® Kids Account. It takes just a $5 deposit to start, and children who open a savings account with TPFCU benefit from:
- A KIRBY KANGAROO® membership card and passbook.
- KIRBY KANGAROO® credits for each $5 they deposit into their account.
- Credits that can be saved and redeemed for fun prizes, so children learn the value of saving.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
IRAs are not standard savings programs but specialized accounts designed to help you build up your retirement savings. TPFCU offers traditional and Roth IRAs, each with unique tax advantages. Whether you want tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals in retirement, an IRA can help you build long-term financial security in place of being paid monthly.
We also offer Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) to help you save for future education expenses.
Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
A certificate of deposit (CD) is a specialized high-yield savings option that offers a higher, fixed rate of interest in exchange for locking in your funds for a set term. TPFCU CDs are available in various terms and provide a secure way to grow your money over time. If you don’t need immediate access to your funds and want a guaranteed return, a CD could be a great option.
