    We believe your money should work as hard as you do. With an Incentive Checking Account you’ll have easy access to your money, with the added opportunity to earn a higher rate just for using your account. Simply, meet the monthly requirements and you’ll earn a higher dividend rate on balances up to $20,000*. Here’s how:

    • Enroll in eStatements
    • Set up a payroll direct deposit of $250 or more
    • Make a minimum of 12 debit OR credit card purchases averaging at least $5 each. Debit and credit card transactions cannot be combined to meet the 12 transaction minimum.
