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. Dividends are calculated
daily and are paid quarterly, except where noted otherwise.
To apply
for any savings account, simply click on the Membership Application
box at the bottom of this page.
If you work
for one of Mid American's employee groups, you may use payroll
deduction to make automatic deposits into your own account, or
another family member's account. You can also make automatic transfers
into most savings accounts from another account.
