The simple benefits of basic banking.

Bank on your terms with no monthly service fees or minimum balance requirements.

Worry-free checking.

If simple is what you are after, Core Checking is the perfect checking account. You'll never have to worry about minimum balances or monthly service fees. Unlike Cash Back Checking or High-Yield Checking, you won't earn monthly dividends or cash back.

Visa® Debit card

Withdraw your money for free at any ATM, nationwide.

No service fees

No monthly service fees

Unlike the big banks, we don't think service fees are very serviceable.

No minimum balance

No minimum balance fees

Balances fluctuate. We believe you shouldn't be penalized for that.

Fee transparency

Most banks require you to have a minimum balance or recurring direct deposit to "avoid" fees. That just doesn't jibe with the credit union spirit. We work hard to make your accounts fee-free.
