Checking Accounts

Spending accounts that help you save.

Convenience, security, and savings

Our checking accounts are convenient and secure, with the added bonus (literally) of helping you save. Compare your options and find the right checking account for you.

Simply Checking

Pattern

When all you need is a simple spending account for your transactions, Simply Checking skips the frills so you can manage your money with ease. Write checks, swipe your debit card, and manage your money from anywhere with our mobile banking app.

Checking Plus

Pattern

Get more out of your checking account with 4.00% APY on your first $15,000. Set up a monthly direct deposit of at least $1,000, use your debit card for 15 purchases a month, and sign up for monthly eStatements to make the most of your money.

Edge Pay

Pattern

Do no overdraft fees, automatic round-up savings, and built-in ID theft and credit monitoring sound too good to be true? Not with our Edge Pay account. It’s a great starter account to help teens and students get their financial footing.

Disclosures

1.
  • To earn dividends with Checking Plus, you must have direct deposit of $1,000 or more, 15 debit card transactions each month, and been enrolled in eStatements for the dividend period. If the account does not meet these requirements during the dividend period, the account will not earn dividends for that period and a new period will start over the following month.

    Checking Plus accounts are tiered rate accounts. For these accounts, the specified dividend rate for a tier will apply only to the portion of the account balance within that tier. The APYs, which vary depending on the balance in the account, are shown for each tier.

2.
  • We reserve the right to pay or not pay any item at our discretion when there are insufficient available funds in your account to cover the transaction. If we pay a check or item that would otherwise overdraw your account, you agree to pay the overdraft amount immediately (within 24 hours of notification or less). We may consider your relationship with the Credit Union, account history, financial behavior, and/or other factors when determining whether to pay an item (overdraft) or return the item for non-sufficient funds (NSF).

    Accounts of persons under the age of 18 are not eligible for Courtesy Pay services. Automatic coverage applies to checks, Bill Pay, and ACH transactions, but opt-in is required for everyday debit card transactions. Courtesy Pay does not cover ATM or non-checking account transactions.
