Learn About Our Savings Options

From the day of initial deposit into a Sun East Savings, Money Market, or Certificate Account, you begin earning high-paying dividends. These dividends are posted monthly to your account. Accounts may be titled either individually or jointly, in trust for, or as custodian.

Money Market Accounts

Money Market Accounts (MMA) typically provide a higher dividend rate than an interest-bearing savings account and offer the convenience of immediate access to your money. These types of accounts require that you maintain an average minimum daily balance.

Certificate Accounts

Certificates are a safe investment with a guaranteed, fixed rate of return that is typically higher than most savings accounts. Sun East offers a variety of terms with minimum deposits as low as $500.

Holiday and Vacation Clubs

These special savings accounts help you save a little each month, for a specific amount of time – and they pay dividends. You can make deposits in-branch or through direct deposit. When the account matures, your savings with accrued interest will be available to withdraw.
