A checking account is a financial tool that offers everyday access to your funds and provides an effective way to track your budget.

*Annual Percentage Yields (APY) are current as of February 1, 2025 and the rate may change after the account is opened. Earn 7.00% APY on balances up to $10,000 and 0.15% to 7.00% APY on balances over $10,000 in your account by meeting the below three requirements:

1. Make 12 or more debit signature swipes per monthly statement cycle;
