Growing your money is truly a team effort.

It all begins with your hard work. Next, you take your earnings and put them into an account at MECU. Then, it's our turn. Thanks to our high deposit rates, we make generous payments to your savings accounts and to certain checking accounts. And that contribution means you end up with a good deal more than you started with.

Great savings rates for every balance.

Because MECU is a not-for-profit credit union, our deposit rates are higher than most traditional banks.
