Interest Checking. More Money. Less Hassle.

If you’ve ever considered opening up an Interest Checking account, this may be the perfect time! We’re now offering an even higher APY* on our Interest Checking account. The more you keep in your account, the higher the APY and the more you’ll earn!

There is a $10 monthly fee if your average daily balance falls below $1,000. That’s it. There are no other crazy qualifications or hoops to jump through like making a certain number of debit card transactions each month or logging into Online Banking a certain number of times.

Switching your personal checking account is easy. Start making money on your money and make the switch.

For more information or assistance, please call our Member Service Center at 800.991.2221

 

 

*APY = Annual percentage yield. APY’s accurate as of April 1, 2017, are variable and subject to change. Fees may reduce earnings.

Traveling for Spring Break? Don’t forget to tell us.

If you’re traveling over Spring Break, please let us know if you’re going out of town. Otherwise, it’s possible that your credit and debit card transactions from another city or state could be flagged as potential fraud and declined.

Notifying us about your Spring Break travel plans is easy!

  • From our website log into Online Banking, go to the Secure Forms tab and select Travel Notification and complete the form.
  • Let us know when you’re at your local Consumers Credit Union office and we’ll make a note in your account.
  • Go to this link and complete the form.

If you have any questions, please call our Member Service Center at 800.991.2221.

Enjoy your break and safe travels!

Your Choice Checking – Choose an option that works best for you!

2016-02_Your_Choice_Checking_BlogWhen it comes to personal checking accounts, one size doesn’t fit all. Consumers Credit Union members can choose an account that works best for you from three different options:

There’s no minimum balance requirement, no debit card usage fees and no per check fees.

Simple Checking is FREE to members when you sign up for e-Statements.

Interest Checking

You’ll earn a competitive rate on your money, plus your account will be insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA. You’ll also benefit from unlimited check writing, with free checks for life, up to one box a year.

A $10 monthly fee will be incurred if your balance falls below $1,000.

Business Checking

With no monthly service fee, our business checking accounts you’ll earn interest on daily balances that exceed $10,000. Competitive rates will be earned on tiered balances with no confusing “sweep” accounts.

Easy Access to Your Money
