Basic Checking Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Basic Checking account?

Basic Checking is a bank account for everyday expenses. It is designed to keep access to your funds liquid and ready for regular payments or purchases. Accessing funds is often by check, Debit Card, Online/Mobile Banking services, peer-to-peer payments, and ATM, or branch location withdrawal for cash. A best practice is to have your paycheck (or other income sources) deposited directly into it and use it to pay bills, make purchases, and withdraw cash.

Is there a monthly fee for a Basic Checking account?

No! Our Basic Checking account does not have a monthly service fee. However, there is a $4.00 paper statement fee per month, which can be waived when you sign up for eStatements.

Do I need to be an America’s Christian Credit Union member to open a checking account?
