Club Savings Accounts
Club Savings Accounts are single-purpose savings accounts designed to help you save for specific expenses such as holiday shopping or vacations. The account works best when regular contributions are made throughout the year via payroll deduction. Then, on a scheduled date, the funds will transfer in one lump sum into your Liberty Bay savings account.
Holiday Club
The holiday season always seems to come up fast! At Liberty Bay, we make it easy to plan ahead with our Holiday Club account, which lets you make regular deposits all year long. It’s a painless way to make sure you have your gift list covered. Holiday Club accounts may be opened between November 1 and December 31 of each calendar year, and are paid out on October 31 of each year. Once your account is established, there’s no need to re-enroll, and you can start saving right away for the next year!
Vacation Club
Dreaming of a vacation? Make next summer brighter with a 12-month Vacation Club Account. Open your account at any time, make deposits as often as you’d like, and in just one year, you can withdraw your balance and interest earned.
Rainy Day Club
If you have your eyes on a different prize then look no further than Liberty Bay’s Rainy Day Club account. With available terms ranging from 3 months to 60 months, you can choose when you want the club account to mature. The rate of your club account will be equal to the interest rate on the corresponding certificate of deposit. For example, if you select a maturity date of three months, you will receive the same rate our three-month CD is earning.
