| Why open a MAX checking account? | | Print | | | We've got several good reasons... - Your money is safe in a checking account. All share deposits at MAX are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000.
- Keeping a checking account open means that you won't have to pay fees to cash your check each week, every other week, etc. Think about this: You get a check bi-weekly from your employer (roughly 26 checks a year), and it costs you an estimated $3.00 to cash each check. This amounts to over $75 a year spent on fees that can easily be avoided.
- You can actually earn money with checking accounts. MAX has two dividend-bearing checking accounts, Me Checking and Performance Check.
- Checking accounts come with a free VISA® Check Card. When you have money in your checking account, you can use your Check Card to get money out of that account instead of carrying all of your cash with you.
- Checking accounts come with other services and great convenience, such as direct deposit, online banking, free first order of checks, and more. Compare MAX checking accounts here. »
- You can write checks or use online Bill Pay to pay your bills. Think of all the money you could save by writing checks or using Bill Pay (free with eStatements) instead of purchasing money orders. Learn more about myMAX Bill Pay and eStatements. »
