Adding a Checking Account Offers More Helpful Features

Summit FCU offers several types of checking accounts so you can select the one that is best for you.  We offer checking accounts with mailed paper statements, checking accounts with ID protection, checking accounts for high school students to get them started and even checking accounts to give you a fresh start.  Most of our checking accounts do not require a minimum balance and are also eligible for a debit card which can give you 24-hour accessibility to your funds across the country. Our debit cards can be used in your Mobile Wallet and can be registered in the Card Valet app to give you usage control. Bill Pay is another feature that lets you pay your bills online instead of paying fees to pay them at individual sites or buy stamps.
