Access Checking is specifically designed for Members who may have been denied a checking account at a traditional bank, or who are currently using a prepaid debit card or payday lender instead of a traditional checking account. With Access Checking, you can start to rebuild your banking relationship with safe and easy access and no surprise fees.
While Access Checking does not come with checks, you will be able to access your funds through your free Debit Mastercard® and Mobile Banking. You may also request free cashier’s checks (two free per day for Patron and Premier Members, and unlimited for Platinum Members) if or when you need them. In today’s digital world, you may find you rarely need actual paper checks!
Please note: it’s important that you do not attempt to order or write checks with this account. Doing so will result in account closure.
It depends. Stop by a branch so we can help you determine your options.
Once you open your Access Checking account, we’ll monitor specific criteria to ensure you’re in good standing. By practicing good financial habits consistently for 12 months, you’ll have the opportunity to switch to a Basic Checking account.
Over 12 consecutive months, you must have: no negative balance for more than one business day, no returned deposits, and complete at least one transaction, transfer, payment or deposit per month. In the event you miss a month, the 12-month period of monitoring will restart.
We want you to succeed, which is why we give you full access to our free tools and resources, plus free financial advice to help you start working towards your goals. For example, stay on top of your balance and track deposits and withdrawals with free eAlerts through Mobile Banking.³ Plus, get free access to GreenPath financial services for debt management, budget planning, and financial counseling. As your Credit Union, we are always here to help you with answers and advice.
