America’s Credit Union has an ongoing promotion that’s available nationwide where you can earn a $100 bonus for a new Checking account.
ACU was established in 1954 and is headquartered in Dupont, Washington. They have grown to 13 locations as of 4th quarter 2016. While all branches are in Washington state, they are part of the CO-OP ATM and Shared Branching networks, where they can provide more than 30,000 ATMs and 5,300 branch locations nationwide for your ACU transactions.
Typically, membership in ACU includes all members of the Armed Forces (active, retired, and reservists), civilian personnel, and relatives of these members, as well as select employer groups. If you do not fall within these categories, you can join the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) in order to become a member of ACU. When completing your online application select the first bulleted item to indicate you are eligible as a member of AUSA. Membership in the credit union begins with a Regular Savings account. From there you have the opportunity to open various other account types to include Money Market, Certificate of Deposit and Checking accounts. A minimum deposit of $25 to your Regular Savings account will be required. See current membership information.
Savings and CD accounts with America’s Credit Union are competitive with local banks, but aren’t the best in the nation. See our pages for the best rates for these particular accounts:
