Share Savings Accounts

A minimum amount of $5 is all you need to apply for membership in the credit union. This $5 (one share) is actually a savings account. You can add to your share account at any time. Your share represents your ownership in the credit union. As a member-owner, you have the right to vote in the election of board and supervisory committee members, who oversee the management of the credit union.

The credit union currently offers these convenient ways to access your share account:

  • Visit our Columbus office located at 1900 Polaris Parkway, Suite 400, Columbus, OH 43240, or our academy office located in the State Highway Patrol Academy building. (Limited Access)

  • Shared Branching

  • Mail your deposit or withdrawal request.

  • Send a deposit using the Remote Deposit Capture feature within our Mobile Banking.

  • Phone or fax

  • Access your account any time using our 24 hour touch tone telephone system.

  • Automatic Payroll Deduction or Direct Deposit. Please call the credit union for more information.

  • ACH Electronic Transfers. Please call the credit union for more information.

Saving at your credit union provides these other great benefits:

  • Your one share investment in the credit union typically pays above-market dividends.

  • Your money earns dividends from the day of deposit to the day of withdrawal. Dividends are paid on the last day of the quarter.

  • Your credit union deposits are safe and secure. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an independent agency of the federal government, protects every dollar deposited up to $250,000 with the credit union.

Our Blue Max Savings

Award yourself. Save more. Earn more.

Our Blue Max Savings is an exclusive benefit only for members of SHPFCU. The Blue Max Award exemplifies service and is awarded for excellence. With Blue Max Savings, you can award yourself a higher interest rate. It is a tiered account that allows you to earn more dividends as your balance increases.

  • Tier 1 $2,500 – $9,999

  • Tier 2 $10,000 – $24,999

  • Tier 3 $25,000 – $49,999

  • Tier 4 $50,000 – $99,999

  • Tier 5 $100,000 +

Share Certificates

If you have extra savings and want to earn higher dividends than our regular share savings, consider a share certificate (also known as a CD). You cannot withdraw your funds during the pre-selected length of the term without penalty, but you will most likely earn a higher rate than our other savings options. Please see our Rates page for rates and terms.

  • Guaranteed or fixed rate of return

  • Short and long term investing

  • Low initial opening deposit (as little as $500)

  • Certificates are federally insured by the NCUA
