Saving money isn’t just about setting cash aside—it’s about helping your money grow over time. Whether you’re building an emergency fund, planning for a future goal, or simply wanting more control over your finances, the account you choose matters.
That’s where ECCU’s High-Yield Savings comes in. This account rewards consistent saving through tiered interest rates, helping you earn more as your balance increases. No tricks. No complex rules. Just smart, flexible saving backed by a financial partner you trust.
In this guide, we’ll break down how tiered savings works, why it’s beneficial, and how ECCU makes it easy to grow your savings with confidence.

What Is a Tiered Savings Account?
A tiered savings account pays different interest rates based on your balance.
In other words: higher balance = higher interest rate.
This structure encourages consistent saving and helps your money grow faster over time.
Example of potential tiers:
-
$0–$1,000 → Standard rate
-
$1,001–$5,000 → Higher rate
-
$5,001+ → Highest rate
Unlike flat-rate savings accounts, tiered savings rewards progress instead of perfection.

Why Tiered Savings Works for Real Life
A High-Yield, tiered savings account offers the best of both worlds:
- You earn more as you save more
- You still have access to your money
- You keep your savings safe and insured
It’s perfect for people who want growth without sacrificing flexibility.
