Share Savings Accounts

When you first become a member, you open a Share Savings Account with a minimum deposit of just $5.  This account begins your path to savings and becoming a member of MN Catholic Credit Union.

Money Market Accounts

Money Market Accounts are designed to help you earn a higher interest rate for a higher balance.  The minimum balances is $2,000.  These are federally insured just like all of our savings accounts but give you a higher rate of return while having easy access to your funds.

Christmas Club Accounts

Christmas Club Accounts allow you to save for holiday shopping all year long, and earn great interest at the same time. You can even set up automatic payroll deduction to make saving easier! In early November MN Catholic CU will send you a check or transfer the monies into your checking account, just in time for holiday shopping. No more post-holiday debt to deal with!

Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are popular because they deliver insured safety, attractive guaranteed fixed rates, and maturities ranging from 6 months to 2 years. The minimum CD amount starts as low as $1000. Rates for new CDs are subject to change at any time and interest is compounded monthly for all terms. Interest earned can be compounded, paid to you by check, or deposited to your credit union checking or savings accounts.

Available CD Terms:

• 6 months
• 12 months
• 18 months
• 24 months

Stop in today to open a CD, or call us at (651) 484-0265.

IRAs

We offer three types of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).

A Traditional IRA is a tax-deferred retirement savings account. You pay taxes on your money only when you make withdrawals in retirement. Deferring taxes means all of your dividends, interest payments and capital gains can compound each year without being hindered by taxes – allowing an IRA to grow much faster than a taxable account.

Traditional IRAs come in two varieties: deductible and nondeductible. Whether you qualify for a full or partial tax deduction depends mostly on your income and whether you have access to a work-related retirement account like a 401(k). A deductible IRA can lower your tax bill by allowing you to deduct your contributions on your tax return – you essentially get a refund on the taxes you paid earlier in the year. You fund a nondeductible IRA with after-tax dollars. You cannot deduct contributions on your tax return.

A Roth IRA is a retirement savings account that allows your money to grow tax-free. You fund a Roth with after-tax dollars, meaning you’ve already paid taxes on the money you put into it.  In return for no up-front tax break, your money grows and grows tax free, and when you withdraw at retirement, you pay no taxes. That’s right – every penny goes straight in your pocket.

A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) allows your investment to grow tax deferred and withdrawals for qualified education expenses are tax free.
