Christmas Club
Holidays take time, preparation, and money. However, if you start planning now, you’ll enjoy the holidays instead of dreading the stress that so often accompanies them. One very simple way to start is to set up a Christmas Club account.
Here’s how it works: Set up a Christmas Club account today and have money set aside every payday throughout the year. Or you can simply send a check whenever you wish. Balances of $100 or more will earn dividends on a quarterly basis.
Next October we will transfer your Christmas Club funds to your Credit Union checking or savings account and you’ll be ready for the holidays. It’s that easy. If you ever want to increase or decrease the amount that you’re putting aside, just give us a call and we’ll make the adjustment.

Summer PayDays
Summer PayDays is designed to help teachers or other people with seasonal income spread 9 or 10 months' salary over 12 months.
During the school year, automatic deposits from your net check will be made into a Summer PayDays Account and the remainder will go into your checking account. Using Summer PayDays will make your life easier and will not interrupt your regular pay schedule.
All you need to do to start Summer PayDays is authorize your net check or payroll deduction to be sent to The Tennessee Credit Union. Then, tell us how much you want to deduct each payday to accumulate for the summer. This amount can be adjusted during the year—increased or decreased as your needs change.
Your Summer PayDays savings will be transferred into your TTCU checking or savings account on June 15, July 1, July 15, August 1, and August 15.
If you choose payroll deduction, or wish to maintain your checking account at another financial institution, automatic deposits will be made on the 28th of each month, all year long.

Summer Fun
If you have a dream vacation in mind, this account can help you get there. Summer Fun is a savings account with no minimum withdrawal and no minimum balance required. Balances over $100 will earn dividends quarterly. Just make affordable deposits to your account and you’ll soon accumulate the money you need. Vacations are just one possibility. Use this account to save for any goal.
Individual Retirement Accounts
Whether you’re just starting out, raising a family, or approaching retirement, IRAs offer tremendous advantages. Ask about the tax-saving possibilities and the latest returns on an investment for:
Traditional IRAs — tax-deferred growth and the potential for tax-deductible contributions.
Roth IRAs — tax-free earnings on qualified withdrawals such as a first time home purchase.
Education IRAs — tax-free earnings on withdrawals for qualified higher-education expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, and certain room and board costs.
At your Credit Union there are no annual or monthly service fees for IRAs. They are insured to $250,000 by NCUA.
US Savings Bonds
As of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds are no longer sold at financial institutions.
But you CAN redeem your bonds at the credit union. Just bring your ID.
