Build your Savings Fast with Competitive Dividends
You can open your Share Account with as little as $25.00, and earn competitive quarterly dividends on balances of $250 or more. To help you keep track of how your money is growing, we’ll send you a quarterly statement that shows your balance and any accumulated dividends. Plus, to safeguard your savings, your account balances are federally insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF)

Scotties Club for Kids
Teach your child the valuable habit of saving money. Financial Trust FCU Scottie Club makes this habit fun and enjoyable for you and your kids. By starting early, they’ll get used to saving money on a regular basis and the rewards of earning dividends on their funds.
Your child can open a Scotties Club account with as little as $25.00 and begin earning dividends immediately. We’ll even send a quarterly statement to help keep track of your child’s progress and give your child the satisfaction of watching that money grow. As your child saves, he or she can also earn premium Scottie items, depending on the savings balance at the end of each quarter.
