CU STARS
Who are the Stars?
To encourage savings at an early age, we have a special group called the CU Stars - our members from infancy through age 17. Open accounts for children and grandchildren with us.
Star Birthday Special: When a Star makes a $25 deposit to his or her existing share account during the Star's birthday month, the Credit Union will add an additional $5 to the account.
Other specials are offered each year. Refer to our newsletters.
