Mid American offers savings accounts for every purpose. There's no monthly service fee whenever a minimum balance of just $100 is maintained in any combination of deposit accounts (Preferred Youth accounts don’t have a monthly fee and no minimum balance is required). Dividends are calculated daily and are paid quarterly, except where noted otherwise.
If you work for one of Mid American's employee groups, you may use payroll deduction to make automatic deposits into your account, or another family member's account. You can also make automatic transfers into most savings accounts from another account.
Basic Membership Savings
As a member with a Basic Savings account, you can use it for any purpose you have in mind. This account offers three free withdrawals per month. Nationwide ATM access is available on this account and this account can be used for Overdraft Protection.
Boost Your Savings
With Boost Your Savings, every time you use your debit card, your purchase is rounded up to the next dollar amount. The difference is then automatically deposited into your savings account. Paying $1.49 for a cup of coffee will move 51 cents into savings. Over time, your "spare change" can really add up! Learn More
