Checking Accounts

The key to every financial foundation.

Checking accounts are pretty amazing when you stop to think about it. They’re a hub where you can receive money, like deposited checks and ACHs, and where you can pay bills. Thanks to our Mobile and Online Banking features, you can also take care of a number of financial transactions via your checking account using your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

We have two different checking accounts to choose from:

• Regular Checking—Our basic checking account that has no minimum balance requirement, no monthly fee and unlimited check writing ability with no per-check fees.
• Save the Change—With this optional enhancement, every time you use your VISA^® Debit Card, we’ll round up that purchase to the next whole dollar. The difference will then be deposited into your Freedom Northwest savings account. This is a great way to save for something special over time without even having to think about it.

With our checking accounts, you’ll also receive some pretty awesome additional services:

• Mobile Banking
  • Deposit Checks Remotely
  • Remote VISA^® Debit and Credit Card Controls
• Online Banking
• Online Bill Pay
• Free VISA^® Debit Card (Instant Issue)
  • Option to use Apple™, Samsung™, Google Pay™
• Access to over 55,000 fee-free ATMs nationwide
• Overdraft Protection
• Save the Change
• Direct Deposit of Your Paychecks or Benefits Checks

To get started, stop by any Freedom Northwest location or give us a call and we’ll get you set up with the account you prefer.
