Savers Club

Alternatives' Savers Club offers all the benefits of a Certificate with more flexibility. It's the perfect way to save money for expected expenses like the holidays, or a planned trip. It's also a great way to establish a savings habit! Here are the details:

  • You only need $100 to open a Savers Club Certificate.
  • The term of the Certificate is one year.
  • You can deposit any amount of money anytime during the year.
  • At the end of the year interest is added at 4-5 times the rate of a standard savings account.
  • The account can be closed at any time, but interest is forfeited if it is closed before the one year term.
  • There are no partial withdrawals permitted. If you close your account before dividends are credited, your deposits will be paid, but you will not receive the accrued dividends. Your Club account will be assessed a fee of all earned interest if it is closed prior to maturity. Withdrawals for the purpose of closing on a home purchase are permitted without penalty.
  • If you'd like to open a Savers Club account, stop in and see one of our Member Service Specialists.

    Robert Berkley, Your Daily Soup

    A few years ago, Robert took a realistic look at business growth and decided he needed a financial boost for expansion. He owns his home, free and clear, and decided a Home Improvement Loan was a good choice to get the funds he needed. "I had to get all new kitchen appliances; everything from a stove to a microwave- and a new roof also."

    "Alternatives made it so easy- I felt like they answered my questions before I even asked them." Robert says of his experience. "I was already in a good place with my business. I just needed to get to the next level. Without the loan from Alternatives I couldn't have done it. I was able to make the home improvements I needed, and have money to buy the necessary equipment to expand my business to include ice cream and sorbet."
