SmartPlus Savings

A savvy way to get a great rate and establish a membership.

SmartPlus Savings
keeps getting smarter

SmartPlus Savings offers a competitive APY* on the first $500 in balances, empowering members with enhanced returns, minimal fees, and the opportunity to easily establish Gesa membership.

How to qualify
  • Enroll in eStatements
  • Limit one account per member

* APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates, terms, and fees are subject to change. APY is accurate as of 03/04/23, the last dividend declaration date.

In order to earn a high dividend rate, you must meet the following requirements during the qualifying monthly period: a) provide and maintain a valid email address; and b) be enrolled to receive e-statements. If the requirements are not met during the monthly qualifying period, the “non-qualifying” 0.01% APY would apply to the entire balance.

Dividends on an SmartPlus Savings Account will be compounded and credited to a member’s account each month. Dividends are calculated using the daily balance method. Qualifying account balances must meet minimum requirements. Rate may change after the account is opened. The qualifying period begins with the first day of the calendar month and ends on the last day of the calendar month at 6:00 P.M. Pacific Time. No monthly fees and no minimum balance required to maintain account. Minimum opening deposit of $5. Fees could reduce earnings. Limited to one SmartPlus Savings account per member.
