It all starts with savings. At Heartland Credit Union, your primary savings account is the basic building block of all of your accounts. It will be the first account you open at HCU.

Open an HCU savings account with as little as a $6 initial deposit. ($5 plus a one-time, $1 membership fee.) If for any reason you leave HCU, your $5 will be returned to you.

The minimum balance of a savings account is just $5. Dividends compound and pay monthly on balances of $100 and above (18 and older).
