What are the Advantages of Using Credit Union Checking Accounts?

Using a credit union checking account comes with several advantages that can greatly benefit your financial well-being. Credit unions often have lower fees and fewer account requirements. This can translate to lower or even no monthly maintenance fees, no minimum balance requirements, and reduced or eliminated fees for transactions such as ATM withdrawals or check orders. By minimizing these fees, credit union checking accounts can help you save money and keep more of your hard-earned cash.

Another advantage of credit union checking accounts is the personalized and member-focused service they provide. Credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives, which means they prioritize the needs and satisfaction of their members over maximizing profits. This often translates to more attentive and personalized customer service, as credit union staff members take the time to understand your unique financial goals and provide tailored solutions. Moreover, credit unions are known for their community-oriented approach, actively investing in the local communities they serve. By banking with a credit union, you not only enjoy the benefits of a checking account but also contribute to the growth and development of your community.

Some of the advantages of opening a checking account with a credit union include:

  • Lower fees than traditional banks

  • Better savings rates

  • Better interest rates on loans

  • Incredible customer service

  • Focus on the community

  • Shared branching and ATM networks for access anywhere

  • Federally insured by the NCUA

Overdraft Protection for Checking Accounts

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction. We can cover your overdraft in two different ways:

  1. We have a standard overdraft privilege program (OPP), which we call Courtesy Pay, that may be available to you. This service has a $30 Fee each time it is used and a transaction is paid by the credit union.

  2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account or a line of credit, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft privilege.

Please speak to a members service representative about your overdraft protection options.
