Automatic Deposits, Increased Benefits

Automatic Deposits

If you know a large expense is coming up—such as a family vacation, your spouse’s birthday or the holidays—a dedicated savings certificate makes it easy to start planning now. America First offers competitive dividends and flexible terms, so your funds will earn more as your goal gets near.

With dedicated savings, you pick the deposit amount as well as the term, and the money is automatically transferred each month—it’s a simple way to save. Your dividends can go directly to checking, money market, share savings—or you can roll them back into the certificate and enjoy the benefits of compound interest.

Plus, you can easily sign up for dedicated savings in person, over the phone, with our mobile banking app, or by logging in to online banking: select Settings, choose Additional Services, then click on Open a Certificate Account.
