Main Share Account
It all starts here. Opening a Share Savings Account is all it takes to become a member of Hughes Federal Credit Union. The minimum deposit to open the account is $50. That's your share in the credit union, which stays in the account, earns dividends, and maintains your membership. Your Main Share Account is your passport to full membership privileges at Hughes FCU.

You can also open your account with a $10 deposit and have six months to bring your balance up to the minimum $50. Once you reach $50, you can apply for any of our other benefits and services, which include voting for our board of directors.

Once you're a member of Hughes Federal Credit Union, you're a member for life and can take advantage of the Products and Services we offer.

The Main Share Account is subject to Regulation D which allows a maximum of 6 withdrawals per month. If you need to use your savings account for frequent transactions, you may want to open a Daily Savings Account. It earns higher dividends than a regular checking account but there are no withdrawal limitations.

Apply Now!

Daily Savings
The Daily Savings account is a transactional account designed for members who desire convenient access to their savings. Withdrawals and transfers are not subject to Regulation D withdrawal restrictions. With a Daily Savings Account, you can access your money at ATMs and point-of-sale machines. The minimum balance is only $.01 and you'll earn competitive rates on a daily basis. Use your ATM or Guarantee Card to debit this account at merchants displaying the INTERLINK® logo.

Your Daily Savings Account can also be set up as Overdrawn Protection for your checking account. We recommend this account be used as the second source of Overdrawn Protection following the Line of Credit (LOC).

To open your account, contact a Member Service Representative at (520) 794-8341 or email us with your request.
