Checking Account
Our Checking account has no monthly maintenance fee and a full suite of services to help you manage your money. With our mobile app, you can transfer money, pay bills and more – anytime, anywhere. Overdraft protection, balance alerts and fraud alerts are just a few of the additional features that offer peace of mind for today’s busy consumer.
Right Start Checking Account
Our Right Start Checking account helps you manage your spending and save money, without worrying about costly fees.
The account is simple, safe and functional with no monthly fee and no checks. An EECU Visa® Debit card is included with the account, so you can make purchases and enjoy convenient access to your money at surcharge-free CO-OP ATMs nationwide. And because overdraft protection isn’t available on the Right Start Checking account, transactions that exceed the amount in your account will be automatically declined, which ensures that you won’t spend more money than you have and you won’t incur expensive overdraft fees.
EECU’s Right Start Checking account is Bank On certified through the national nonprofit organization Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund that works to ensure that everyone has access to a safe, affordable, transactional banking account.
