Checking

With a Community Powered Checking account and direct deposit you could get your paycheck up to two days early*. As soon as we receive the electronic file from your employer, your paycheck will be posted to your account. It’s that simple. No cost. No catch.

Our Checking Accounts feature:

*At our discretion, we may make funds available for certain direct deposits (for example, most payroll payments) as soon as the payor notifies the credit union of the payment. This means we can make your money available to you up to 2 days before we receive the funds from the payor. This will be reflected on your account transaction history. If your direct deposits are already sent to your credit union checking account, you do not need to take any additional action. Earlier availability of direct deposits is dependent on the timing of your payor’s payment instructions, fraud prevention overlays, and other restrictions, such as limits on the amount and frequency of direct deposits to your account. These limits are designed to be flexible in order to protect the security and integrity of the service and accounts. These limitations may be based on confidential fraud and risk criteria that are essential to our management of risk and the protection of you and the integrity of the service and may be modified at our sole discretion without advance notice. The credit union does not guarantee early availability of any direct deposits, and eligibility of a direct deposit for early availability may change between pay periods. Any direct deposit that is not posted early will otherwise be made available according to our funds availability schedule. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you remain responsible if any deposit to your account is returned, rejected, or otherwise uncollected by the credit union. We reserve the right to conclude the early availability of direct deposit at our sole discretion and without any further notice to you. Account subject to approval.

Overdraft Protection

An overdraft occurs when you write a check for an amount greater than the amount in your account. Overdraft protection means we pay the transaction anyway. We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to:

We pay overdrafts at our discretion. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined. You will be charged a fee* of $25 each time you overdraw your account. You will have thirty (30) calendar days to reimburse us for paid checks, EFTs, and service charges.
*All fees are subject to change without prior notice.
