Premium Online Savings Pros & Cons

Premium Online Savings FAQ

Are savings accounts from PenFed Credit Union federally insured?

Yes, your savings accounts are insured up to $250,000 per share owner for each account ownership category.

What APY does PenFed Credit Union offer?

Premium Online Savings offers an APY of 3.00% (APY stands for annual percentage yield, rates may change). This is higher than the typical APY for online-only savings accounts, which is around 1% APY.
The dividends paid by PenFed Credit Union can change at any time as set by the board of directors. Note that the APY of a savings account is what you will earn if you keep your money in the account for a full year expressed as a percentage. The difference between an APY and an interest rate is that the APY takes into account how often your money earns interest (or compounds). The more often your money compounds, the more it will earn. Savings accounts with an interest rate that compounds daily, for example, will earn a higher return (and therefore a higher APY) than savings accounts that compound annually.
