Our Base Savings Account is structured to help you build up savings for essential needs, like an emergency fund, faster with an enhanced dividend rate for the first $500.

Since this account holds your $5 membership share of the Credit Union, every membership with UMassFive will automatically benefit from this enhanced interest rate to help build a base for achieving personal financial goals.

In an emergency, there is no greater comfort than knowing you have a safety net that is within reach.

Each month you have the ability to electronically transfer funds between your accounts up to six times, and without limit in person. Deposits directly into your savings accounts are always unlimited.
