Student Checking

Freedom to do your own thing.

Personal Finance 101: Get the right checking account.

And when you're 13 to 22 years of age, that's Student Checking from American Eagle Financial Credit Union. You're more independent when you manage your own money.

No monthly service charge*

Visa® Debit Card for easy spending and ATM access

Online Banking & Mobile App with bill pay, transfers, card controls, alerts, and more

Love tech? This account is loaded with it.

You have all the tools you need to move money, pay bills, deposit checks, and much more through your phone, laptop, or tablet. The best news? You won't get slowed down by a monthly service charge. That means more money for snacks and streaming services, clothes and coffees. If you're under 18 years of age, a parent, legal guardian, or adult family member is required to be a joint on the account.

Overdraft Protection Options

Life happens. If your account balance isn’t enough to cover a purchase or withdrawal, our overdraft options are designed to help keep things moving - so your transactions can go through smoothly. You have two ways to protect your Student Checking account:

Overdraft Coverage from Savings

Automatically transfers available funds from your savings account to cover an overdraft.

  • To enroll, log in to Digital Banking, select Transfer & Pay tab, and choose the account to work with or contact our Member Contact Center.

Overdraft Coverage from Visa®

Uses your American Eagle Visa Credit Card to cover overdraft transactions (a cash advance fee applies).

  • To enroll, log in to Digital Banking, select Transfer & Pay tab (on App, Transfer & Pay is under the More option), and choose the account to work with or contact our Member Contact Center.
