Checking Account Features

More than just a checking account

Standby Cash®

A digital line of credit that's ready when you are

Once you qualify, instantly access between $100 and $750. No credit check. Just pay a 5% cash advance fee. No monthly interest with automatic payments; otherwise, a 1% monthly interest charge (12% APR) applies1.

$50 Safety Zone® & 24-Hour Grace®

A little cushion when you need it

We give you breathing room. If you overdraw by $50 or less, you won’t be charged an overdraft fee. Go over $50? You have more time to make a deposit to make it right2.
