- No annual fee
- No charge for transactions conducted at ATMs owned by Ascentra Credit Union
- 5 FREE ATM transactions/inquiries per month at ATMs not owned by the credit union. If you exceed 5 ATM transactions/inquiries per month at ATMs not owned by the credit union, the charge is $1.00 each
Health Savings Account

- Health insurance can cost less
- Savings help to pay qualified medical expenses
- Tax-deductible deposits
- Tax-free growth and medical expenses

First-Time Homebuyer's Savings Account
Iowans looking to save for a first-time home purchase in the state can now use a first-time homebuyer savings account (FTHSA) to save for their first home instead of a regular savings account. A benefit of this is that interest earned from the account is not taxable on Iowa tax returns AND it pays a higher dividend rate.
Requirements and rules:
- The contributions are required to be in the account for 90 days prior to being used
- Money remaining in the account more than 10 years after the account was opened is considered withdrawn, and the account can no longer be a first-time homebuyer savings account after that time
- A penalty may be incurred if money is withdrawn for a non-qualified reason
- For complete requirements, rules, and forms visit the Iowa Department of Revenue website
To Apply:
- Call us at 563-355-0152 OR
- Stop into any of our conveniently located branches. We would love to see you!
