More Value & Benefits from your Checking Account
Ask yourself three questions:
| 1. Do you make electronic deposits of $1,000 or more a month? (e.g. paycheck direct deposits, etc.)?
(YES) (NO) |
| 2. Do you make $1,000 more in combined debit/credit card transactions in a month? (e.g. grocery store, restaurant dining, big box store runs)
(YES) (NO) |
| 3. Are you okay with receiving eStatements (faster than mail and a more secure way to receive your statement)
(YES) (NO) |
If you do, you’ll waive the $6/month fee, enjoy more free benefits and watch your money grow at 2.25% APY on balances up to $15,000.
From groceries and gas to insurance and healthcare, rising costs are causing many households to take a closer look at where their money goes each month. While it’s common to shop around for better rates on major expenses, one area often overlooked is your checking account.
The right checking account can do more than hold your money—it can help you earn more, save more, and provide benefits that reduce everyday expenses. On average, Velocity Credit Union members who use all the Rewards Checking account benefits save $81 per month.
