Strengthen Your Financial Foundation.
Special Shares
Invest in Special Shares for a Secure Financial Future!
Eastern Credit Union introduces Special Shares as a strategic initiative designed to strengthen the financial stability and long-term growth of our cooperative. These shares play an important role in building a resilient capital base, helping to safeguard the future prosperity of our members while reducing financial risk.
Special Shares also support early financial engagement, making them a meaningful foundation for families exploring a youth savings account, a savings account for teens, or identifying the best banking account for minors as part of a long-term financial journey. By investing in Special Shares, you’re not just participating as a member, you’re contributing to a secure, thriving financial community built on collective success, responsibility, and sustainability.
The Role of Special Shares
- Capital Enhancement: Special Shares contribute directly to increasing the reserve holdings of Eastern Credit Union, solidifying our financial foundation.
- Risk Mitigation: A stronger capital base means reduced financial risk for all members, ensuring your investments are safe and secure.
- Membership Initiation: New members are required to purchase four (4) Special Shares at $25.00 each, totaling a $100.00 contribution to their Special Shares Account. This initial investment signifies your stake in the credit union’s future.
- Youth Inclusion: Recognizing the importance of financial literacy and inclusion from a young age, minors under 14 years are exempt from purchasing Special Shares, easing the path for young savers.
Why Invest in Special Shares?
- Shared Success: Your investment in Special Shares directly supports the collective success of all ECU members.
- Financial Stability: Strengthen the credit union’s capital reserves, ensuring stability and growth for years to come.
- Community Contribution: Play a pivotal role in a community that values financial resilience and member prosperity.
