Prime Shares
DCFCU’s Prime Share account opens the door to membership at Downriver Community Federal Credit Union. You’ll establish your membership and enjoy a great return on your savings with rates that only a credit union can offer. A $5 deposit is all it takes to access the many benefits DCFCU has to offer. Dividends are paid quarterly, and cannot by law be guaranteed ahead of time, but must be declared by the Board of Directors based upon that quarter’s earnings.
