Systematic Savings Club Just set it and forget it! There is no better way to grow your long-term savings than with regular automatic deposits. This account rewards your smart savings habits with higher dividends and no minimum balance, so you can reap the benefits even if you only save a few dollars a month. And, to help you avoid the temptation to "borrow" from your long-term savings, this account only allows free withdrawals in April.	Special Savings Club An easy way to keep track of your savings goals. Let's say you're saving up for a second honeymoon, your daughter's graduation gift, and a new HDTV. How do you keep it all straight? By creating special savings club accounts. With only one member number, you can create up to five club accounts to make it easier to see at a glance exactly how much you have saved toward each goal.	Christmas Club If holiday expenses seem to catch you by surprise, this is the perfect account for you. Choose any amount to be deposited each month. Your savings will grow painlessly and automatically all year. On November 1st, your Christmas Club savings will be transferred into your membership savings account. You'll have cash when you need it so you can avoid getting hit with holiday debt!
