Two Ways to Get Your Monthly Service Charge Returned
We charge a $5 monthly service charge, but we return it when you meet simple requirements. Choose the option that works best for your banking habits:
Option 1: Keep $1,000 Average Daily Balance
If your account maintains an average daily balance1 of $1,000 or more during the statement period, we'll return your $5 monthly service charge. Average daily balance1 is calculated by adding the principal in your account each day of the period and dividing by the number of days in the period.
Option 2: Use Direct Deposit
Set up recurring direct deposit and we'll automatically return your $5 monthly service charge. Any of these count as qualifying direct deposits:
- Employer payroll deposits
- Social Security benefits
- Pension payments
- Government benefit payments
Which option is better? Direct deposit users get their fee returned automatically every month without thinking about balance levels. But if you don't use direct deposit and naturally keep around $1,000 in checking, the balance option works just as well.
