Classic Checking - Free Checking!
Our Classic Checking is convenient and free! You can open the account with any amount of money and there's no minimum balance requirements or monthly service fees.

Capitol Checking - Earn Dividends!
You earn competitive dividends on every dollar in your Capitol Checking Account. To open an account a $1,000 minimum deposit is required, and you need to have $1,000 as your average daily balance to earn dividends.

There are also no fees with this account if you have a Home Equity Line of Credit with Congressional on the same account, or you maintain a combined deposit and loan balance on the account of $10,000 or more. The combined deposit includes any combination of checking, savings, and certificate account balances, car loans, personal loans, or home equity loans under the same account number.
