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.
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.
