Having a check card shouldn't mean acquiring extra debt. Let us help with a simple checking account to help you manage your life.
To open an account: New members, click the button to the left. Existing members can open an account through online banking, by calling member services or by visiting a branch.
Have you heard of a Reserve Line of Credit? It's an excellent form of overdraft protection because funds are transferred automatically from your Reserve Line of Credit into your checking account whenever a check you've written, a Visa® Check Card transaction, or automatic withdrawal threatens to overdraw your account.
Order Checks: It’s easy to order checks. Go to our check printer, Deluxe, or you can order through online banking. Once you log-in to online banking, go to “checking history” and at the top of that page you will see a link to order checks.
