Co-op Advantage Checking
Discover the Advantage
With a competitive interest rate and ATM fee refunds across the country, find out firsthand what makes our Co-op Advantage Checking Accounts so good.
Competitive Interest Rate
Every month that you qualify, you'll earn 0.75% APY on your Co-op Advantage Checking Account.
Accounts that don't meet the monthly requirements will still earn our basic interest rate, and as soon as you meet the requirements again, you'll automatically receive our rewards rate again.
Nationwide ATM fee refunds up to $10 per calendar month
We will never charge you for an ATM withdrawal, but other financial institutions might.
Make withdrawals with the peace of mind that you will get the money back at the end of the month, on us.
Qualifying is Simple.
There's no minimum balance, so whether you have $5 or $500, you will get the same great benefits from this checking account, every day.
All you need to do is meet these three requirements per month:
- Make 12 Debit Card purchases
- Receive 1 Direct Deposit or ACH Auto Debit
- Receive eStatements
Worried about not meeting the requirements?
It's no big deal. Any month that you don't qualify, all that will happen is your account will earn our basic interest rate, ATM fees will not be refunded, and you can try again next month. We'll even send you an email every month so you can keep track of how you're doing.
