When we say free checking, we mean it.

At Secured Advantage Federal Credit Union, our free checking account* has no monthly maintenance fees and no minimum balance requirement.

If high fees are driving you away from your big bank… early account closure fee, redeeming rewards points fee, staff assisted withdraw fees… you get the picture. We don’t charge any of these fees like the other banks do.

At Secured Advantage, we aim to help our members get ahead. And as part of a network of nearly 30,000 ATMs and 5,600 shared branch locations, you have more direct, surcharge-free† access to your money than most traditional banks. Our members enjoy free e-statements, unlimited check writing privileges and monthly dividends, no matter your balance.

*Other fees such as NSF (Non-sufficient funds) fees, sustained NSF fees, Stop Payment fees, etc. may apply. See fee schedule for details. Credit union rules and regulations apply. †Surcharge-free transactions are available for debit and ATM cardholders at nearly 30,000 ATMs in the U.S. and Canada that are part of the CO-OP® ATM Network.
