Regular Share
Regular share accounts are simple savings accounts earning dividends on an average daily balance method, and there are no penalties for withdrawals nor minimums for deposit. To become a member of LCU, you'll start with a $5 savings account. You can then use it anytime to save for whatever you want! ATM cards are available.
Checking
A share draft (checking) account at Lowland Credit Union provides you with a great way to handle your day-to-day finances. With our great checking accounts you can enjoy:
No monthly service fee, no minimum balance requirements, no minimum check fee and no service fee. Plus we've added debit card rewards. Overdraft protection on your checking account is available by linking to your share account or LCU Visa credit card.
Direct deposit allows you to have your payroll deposited to your share draft account saving you the long wait in a teller line. Social security and other government agency generated funds can also be direct deposited.
Carbonless copies so you won’t forget to register the check amount. If you ever need a copy of a check, we are happy to provide one for you at a modest fee.
Monthly statements will document your share draft activity with a list of the drafts cleared, the amount, date and your daily balance. You can get statements electronically or via regular mail.
ATM / Debit card service is available with your share draft account for only $2 per month.
Lowland Credit Union debit cards have rewards points! Visit UChoose Rewards to register your card. You will earn 1 point for every $2 you spend in a signature-based transaction. Debit transactions where you enter your PIN number are not eligible for points. The points can be redeemed for millions of items. Find more info at UChoose Rewards.
It is very important that you balance your share draft account each month as soon as you receive your statement. Then, if you do have a problem, you will catch it before it becomes a bigger problem.

Regular IRA
Many people choose a traditional IRA because of the tax break feature. Contributions to this account are tax deductible. Also, traditional IRAs are best if you're planning to roll over money from other qualified retirement accounts, such as a 401k. Roth IRA
Roth IRAs are a relatively new tool to help you plan for retirement. Your contributions are not tax-deductible, instead earnings grow tax-free. You pay no taxes when you withdraw the money provided it has been in the account at least 5 years AND you're older than 59 1/2. You can also withdraw the money tax free should you become disabled. Or, you can use the money if you are buying your first home, but there's a $10,000 lifetime withdrawal limit. With a Roth, you don't have to begin withdrawing money at age 70 1/2, as is the case with the traditional IRAs. You can leave your earnings in your financial institution to continue to grow tax-free for as long as you like.
If you would like more information about LCU's IRA options stop by or call us at 423-581-8345, ext. 182 today!
Club Accounts
Vacation and Christmas Club Accounts are a great way to put aside a little each payday. Savings are automatically deposited into your checking account (or share account if you don't have checking with LCU) in May for the vacation club accounts, and in November for the Christmas Club accounts. There is no minimum required, just whatever you’d like to set aside each payday.
