Summary

This account rewards you with bonus interest each month you deposit $50 and make no withdrawals.

For every month that you are able to make a deposit into your Bonus Saver Account without having to withdraw, People’s Choice Credit Union rewards you with a competitive bonus interest rate. Sticking to your deposit commitment is easy with a free payroll split that allows you to add to your savings directly from your salary. You can even set up direct debits from the account, but those will count against you earning extra interest on your balance.

Pros

  • $0 monthly service account fee
  • Small monthly deposit condition of $50
  • Internet banking and mobile banking app

Cons

  • To be eligible for bonus interest you can't make withdrawals
  • Bonus rate is lower than others in market
  • Can't open this account online
