A competitive 1.50% APY is being offered by Alliant Credit Union for a number of its savings accounts. This fixed, raised yield is offered for a limited time only, so it will do you good to take advantage of the rates while they’re still there.

For the regular savings account, you will need only a minimum of $5 balance. There’s no cap, so you can put in as much as you can into the account, although we highly suggest you keep it at the $250,000 insurance limit. High dividends will be paid for big deposits, particularly daily balances of more than $100.

The same conditions are offered for the supplemental savings account. You might want this account, though, if you’re saving up especially for vacations and special events. They also offer the kidz club savings account (for holders 12 years old or younger), Custodial Savings account (for money-gift transfers), and Trusts (for assets you would want to protect from high taxes).

To open an account, simply go to their website and click the “Open Now” button. You have to be 18 years old or older and be a citizen of the USA to be eligible for these accounts. For younger account holders, a branch visit is necessary. Branches of the Alliant Credit Union can be found in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Michigan, Denver, Chicago, and Columbia.
