• Receive competitive dividends on your investment.
• Withdraw funds penalty-free for qualified expenses or after the age of 59 ½.

Money Market 50

Investing is a balancing act between getting the interest rates you want and having access to your money when you need it. Get the best of both worlds with EPFCU’s Market 50 Account. A minimum balance of $5,000 will earn you a higher interest rate while still allowing you to withdraw the money on demand with no penalties. Should your balance fall below $5,000, we simply move the remainder back to your regular savings account.

Money Market 60

EPFCU’s Market 60 Account offers the same benefits as the Market 50 Account, but pays a premium interest rate for a minimum balance of $10,000.

Coverdell Education Savings Account

This savings account is an incentive to help parents and students save for education-related expenses.

• Make contributions up to the limit established by the Internal Revenue Service.
• Receive competitive dividends on your investment.
• Contributions are not deductible, but amounts deposited in the account grow tax free if distributed for allowable expenses.

Accidental Death & Dismemberment

An accident can take a lot from you – your eyesight, hearing, the ability to speak, a limb, even your life. But thanks to an accidental death and dismemberment coverage plan offered by your credit union, life can go on for you and your loved ones, with the plan paying a lump sum when you or your beneficiaries need it most.
