Did you know our High Yield Savings was repeatedly named #1 by MarketWatch in 2025?

Throughout 2025, our High Yield Savings account was consistently ranked either #1 or among the top three in America by MarketWatch. Not just a one-time headline, it’s a year-long reminder of what happens when you build savings the right way.

How do you know we’re the right place for savers?

A year of recognition, one month at a time!

In 2025, MarketWatch didn’t just notice us once. Month after month after month, our High Yield Savings account showed up either at the very top—or firmly in the top three—of the best high yield savings accounts in America.

For us, that consistency matters more than any single ranking. Because saving isn’t a moment. It’s a habit. And great financial tools should hold up all year long, not just when the spotlight’s on.

Why did MarketWatch rank our High Yield Savings as number one?

The 2025 MarketWatch monthly rankings reflected a 10% APY* that’s tops in its category nationally. (Not just in Michigan!) And when combined with easy digital access and pro-member terms, it’s easy to see why our High Yield Savings consistently comes in at the top of the heap.

Why choose a High Yield Savings account?

Because our High Yield Savings account gives you 10% APY* on your first $1,000 with a boosted rate after that, it’s a smart savings choice for:

  • People just starting to save
  • Rebuilding a cushion after a big expense
  • Saving for kids or grandkids
  • Chasing a wild dream and saving up for a goal
  • Getting a jumpstart on next year’s holiday spending
  • Kids or teens looking to kickstart their savings journey

With no market exposure and the confidence of being a true savings account, our High Yield Savings is built to help money grow consistently over time without stress.

Key High Yield Savings features for members
  • 10% APY* on the first $1,000 saved
  • Low $5 minimum to get started
  • Simple, transparent structure
  • No minimums, no fees
  • Easy digital access through digital banking
  • High Yield Savings for kids, teens, and adults!

What we’re most proud of

Yes, being ranked at the top by MarketWatch is something to be proud of. But what matters more is why it happened.

It happened because we didn’t chase trends. Because we didn’t overcomplicate saving. Because we stayed focused on people—not profit. And because our members trusted us with their goals. Which makes us proud to walk alongside you every day.

Making the place for savers the place to save for the next 75 years

As we move forward into our 75th year serving Michiganders like you, we’re not trying to top a list. We’re focused on continuing what 2025 reinforced: That when you build financial tools with care, clarity, and consistency, people feel the difference. And their savings do too!
