Savings Accounts
A place to grow every dollar
Heartland offers savings accounts for every stage of life, whether you're just becoming a member, building an emergency fund, or locking in a great rate.

Start here
Become a member with Prime Share Savings
Every Heartland member starts here. Opening a Prime Share Savings account is what makes you an owner of the credit union, not just a customer, and it only takes a $25 deposit to get started. From there, you can open any other account on this page, apply for a loan, or take advantage of everything else Heartland offers.

Special Savings
Give your goal its own account
Saving for something specific? A Special Savings account lets you set money aside and give it a name, so it's easy to track progress without mixing it in with everyday spending. There's no minimum balance and no monthly fee, so you can open as many as you need, whether that's a down payment, home improvements, or a rainy day fund, all running side by side.
A Certificate that locks in a guaranteed rate
If you have a lump sum ready to set aside, a Certificate locks in a guaranteed rate for a set term, from 3 months up to 60. The longer the term, the more you can earn, with no market risk to your principal. Don't have a lump sum yet? An Add-on Certificate lets you start small and keep contributing over time without resetting your term or losing your rate.
A Money Market that grows with you
Money Market accounts pay Heartland's best savings rates, and the more you save, the more you earn. Rates are tiered by balance, so as your savings grow, so does your dividend, all while keeping access to your money with up to 6 withdrawals a month, including checks.

Frequently asked questions
Both offer tiered rates that grow with your balance and are federally insured up to $250,000. Investment Share starts earning at a lower balance, making it a good fit if you're carrying a bit more than a standard savings account. Money Market requires a higher balance to start earning dividends but adds withdrawal flexibility, including checks, and pays more at higher balance tiers.
