Checking Accounts
Make Your Money Work for You
The ideal checking account should do two things: maximize every hard-earned dollar you deposit, and do so with no or as few fees as possible. It just so happens we offer personal checking accounts that do both of those things.

While each of our checking accounts comes with unique benefits they all include:
- A free ATM or Master Card® debit card (subject to qualification)
