Financial Wellness

Financial education is an important piece of Listerhill's mission of improving lives.

Balancing a budget, buying a home or car, and planning retirement are just a few of the important financial decisions most of us have to make at some point. As a credit union, we understand the importance financial education has in making the best decision for you and your family. That's why we have initiated several financial wellness programs to empower our members and the community to to become more financially secure and establish good habits for wise spending and saving.

What we do
Listerhill Event2
School Events

On high school and college campuses across throughout our community, Listerhill host events such as our popular Game of Life event where students go through a simulation of "real world" budget building. At the end of the game, each student gets a one-on-one debrief with one of our Financial Wellness experts. This gives students a peak into what their financial life may look like after school while reinforcing the importance of saving and spending responsibly.

  • How does a tiered dividend rate structure work?

    Money market accounts typically offer tiered dividend rate structures. That means account balances above certain thresholds earn a higher rate. For example, Listerhill  Credit Union offers progressively higher APYs on amounts above $9,999, $49,999, and 99,999. It’s important to realize that only the portion of your deposit above this threshold will earn the higher rate, while the amount below will continue to earn dividends at the lower rate.

  • Where is the best place to open a money market account?

    Credit unions offer more generous dividends on average than other banking institutions, as well as fewer fees and charges. Credit Unions also offer more personal service to help you set up and manage your money market account.

  • What do you need to open a money market account?

    In order to open a Listerhill Credit Union Money Market Account, you need to be a member of Listerhill Credit Union. You’ll also need:

    • Proof of identity, such as drivers license, state ID card, or passport
    • An opening deposit of at least $15 to cover the low balance fee
  • How do credit union money market accounts work?

    Credit Union Money Market Accounts allow you to earn more money in dividend payments by offering progressively higher rates for amounts above $9,999, $49,999, and $99,999.

Because credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned by and run on behalf of their members, dividend rates are higher on average than those offered by commercial bank accounts.
