To activate your membership and obtain other credit union services with Great Basin Federal Credit Union, a Primary Savings Account must be opened. This is your share of ownership in the credit union. A minimum of $25 must be maintained for the life of the account and dividends are paid at the end of each month on average daily balances of $300 or more.

If a Primary Savings is the only service you have, your account may be subject to a monthly fee (please see the fee schedule). For information on becoming a full-service member, take a look at our other account options.

If a Primary Savings is the only service you have on your account, please be sure conduct at least one transaction per year in order to avoid “dormant” status on your account and subsequently a Dormant Account Fee. Excessive Withdrawal Fee may apply after 6 withdrawals in any one month.

We recognize that your finances are very personal to you. We each have our own style of budgeting and saving, and we want you to personalize your savings account the way you like it. Therefore, you can open as many shares on your single account as you need to help you save. We even allow you to name them! So whether it is “Furniture”, “Braces”, “Hawaii” or just “Mad Money”, you are invited to take ownership of your account.

Add sub-accounts to your existing account right from within your Online Banking, call us, or stop by any branch.
