Saver Account - AACU Saver Account FAQs

Your Saver account rate depends on activity inside your linked Cash Rewards or Cash Back Rewards Checking account, not the Saver account itself. Post one direct deposit, twelve debit card purchases, and enroll in eStatements each cycle. Compare Cash Rewards Checking to see which pairs best with your Saver account.

Twelve debit card purchases posted and cleared in your linked checking account each monthly cycle keep your Saver account earning 0.75% APY1 at AACU. Missing that count for a month simply drops your rate until the next cycle. Open a Cash Back Rewards Checking account to start building toward that count.

Saver balances above $50,000 earn 0.15% APY1 instead of the 0.75% top-tier rate at AACU. Balances up to $50,0002 keep earning the higher rate as long as you meet monthly checking qualifications. Compare this to Reverse Tier Savings if you're building a smaller balance instead.

A Saver account at AACU requires an active Cash Rewards or Cash Back Rewards Checking account, since its rate depends entirely on that account's monthly activity. Check your eligibility and pair the two accounts together.

AACU reviews and posts the Saver account's Annual Percentage Yield monthly, tied to the credit union's last dividend declaration date. Your qualifying rate applies for that statement cycle based on your linked checking activity. Check your eligibility and open your Saver account online today.

2 Qualifications: In your Cash Rewards or Cash Back Rewards Checking account, (a) post and clear at least one direct deposit or pre-authorized ACH (b) post and clear twelve or more purchase transactions using your debit card and (c) enroll in estatements during the monthly periodic statement cycle.

When qualifications are met in your Cash Rewards or Cash Back Rewards Checking account, balances in your Saver account up to $50,000.00 earn 0.75% APY and balances over $50,000.00 earn 0.15% APY resulting in a range from 0.27% to 0.75% APY depending on the account’s balance. If qualifications are not met, 0.05% APY is received on the entire balance. Rates and rewards are variable and may change after account is opened. Fees may reduce earnings.
