Checking Accounts
Your money when and where you need it.
A checking account, also known as a share draft account at a credit union, is an important (and often underrated) tool in your personal financial toolbelt.
A checking account is a type of bank account that allows you to easily access your money - anytime, anywhere. Whether you need to make a deposit or withdraw money for daily transactions, a checking account is one of the most liquid accounts you can have. The main goal of a checking account is to keep your money safe and secure in the short term, so it’s available for you when and where you need it.

Credit unions are focused on you, not shareholders.
- Credit unions have an interest in making their communities stronger and are focused on helping their members meet their financial potential.
- At a credit union, you can get more personalized service than you might receive at a bank.
Because credit unions are not-for-profit and serve their members, profits are shared with members through:
- Higher yields on savings accounts
- Fewer and lower fees
- Lower loan interest rates
- Individualized lending flexibility
