Transparency is important to us. Our fine print is actually the same size as anything else we talk about.

For all the legal speak please review the current Rate and Fee Schedule. Here are the highlights.

  • You can make up to 6 withdrawals per month from your savings account
  • You pay $2 for each withdrawal over 6
  • If you need to make more than 6 withdraws per month consider opening a checking account in addition to a savings account
  • Consult your tax advisor for details and advice
  • The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) may change quarterly on a savings account

    The savings account with OKCU has encouraged my children to continue to save with OKCU since elementary school. Now they are in college and still keep their savings accounts open with OKCU.
