Checking for your Lifestyle

You need a checking account. Everyone does. But like anything else, what works for your neighbor may not work for you. That’s why American Eagle Federal Credit Union offers you four checking account options: Ultimate, E-Checking, American, and Traditional. You pick the one that suits your needs and gives you the best value.



All Feature:
Checking Account Application

Compare the benefits of all four checking accounts.




ULTIMATE CHECKING

If you have other Credit Union accounts—deposits, loans, or a combination of both—you can enjoy multiple benefits if you maintain a total of $15,000 in all of your accounts combined under the same member number.

WITH THIS OPTION, YOU'LL ENJOY:
  • Dividends earned on your account.
  • Six free network ATM withdrawals from your checking account per statement cycle. *
  • If you have direct deposit, you receive two additional network ATM withdrawals from your checking account per statement cycle.
  • Two free orders of Super Saver style checks per year.
  • and more...
*Banks or other financial institutions may charge fees for use of their ATMs.

An aggregate balance of $15,000 deposits, loans, or a combination of both is required on the Ultimate Checking option. A $15 fee will be assessed each statement cycle that your aggregate balance drops below $15,000.




E- CHECKING

If you’re someone who likes to use electronic services to manage your checking account and you want free Bill Payment service, E-Checking is for you.

WITH THIS OPTION, YOU'LL ENJOY:
  • No minimum balance requirement.
  • Six free network ATM withdrawals from your checking account per statement cycle. *
  • If you have direct deposit, you receive two additional free network ATM withdrawals from checking per statement cycle 
*Banks or other financial institutions may charge fees for use of their ATMs.




AMERICAN CHECKING

If you don’t like to keep a large balance in your checking account and use ATMs on a regular basis, you should consider American Checking.

WITH THIS OPTION, YOU'LL ENJOY:
  • No minimum balance requirement.
  • Four free network ATM withdrawals from your checking account per statement cycle.*
  • If you have direct deposit, you receive two additional free network ATM withdrawals from checking per statement cycle
*Banks or other financial institutions may charge fees for use of their ATMs.




TRADITIONAL CHECKING

Perhaps you prefer the time-honored checking account. With Traditional Checking, you keep your money working for you and receive dividends.

WITH THIS OPTION, YOU'LL ENJOY:
  • No minimum balance requirement.
  • Dividends earned on your account.
  • If you have direct deposit you will receive two free network ATM withdrawals from your checking account per statement cycle
*Banks or other financial institutions may charge fees for use of their ATMs.

Overdraft Coverage  Apply today!
Overdraft Coverage is an optional service that links your Credit Union Checking account to your Credit Union Savings account or VISA® Credit Card to cover overdrafts. Click here for details.

Overdraft Privilege
Overdraft Privilege is a service tied to your Checking account that provides eligible members with the additional security of knowing their overdrafts will be paid. Overdraft Privilege is activated after other overdraft coverage (if available) has been exhausted. As long as your account remains in good standing, American Eagle will honor an overdraft transaction up to a maximum preset limit based on your type of checking account (see Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Policy for details). A $30.00 NSF fee will be assessed for each item that draws your account negative. You then have 30 days to bring your account current. This will save you the embarrassment and inconvenience of returned items as well as the fees normally charged to you by merchants. Some restrictions apply.
