Qualified members, who are covered by a High Deductible Health plan, can take advantage of AmeriCU's HSA Checking. A member is able to make tax-deductible contributions into their account, accumulate tax-deferred earnings and withdraw funds tax-free for qualified medical expenses. Further, eligible account balances of $25 or more earn dividends which are compounded and paid monthly. Benefits include being able to have the funds rollover from year to year and in doing so help the member establish a long-term investment alternative. We are pleased to offer this as either a single or family checking option.

Free VISA® Check/Debit Card
Instead of writing a check to pay for groceries, shopping or anything else, you can use your AmeriCU VISA® Check/Debit Card. It works like a check and can be used wherever VISA® is accepted. Instead of using credit, you’re paying with funds directly from your checking account. You can also use your VISA® Check/Debit Card to get instant cash at thousands of ATMs.
