Members Credit Union offers a premium Checking Account without the premium fees. Our Checking Account comes standard with FREE Online Banking, FREE Online Bill Pay, FREE VISA Debit Card, FREE Direct Deposit, FREE 24-Hour Phone Account Access, and FREE access to any of Members CU’s 15 branch locations and more than 1,000 surcharge-free NC Credit Union Network ATMs. All we ask is that you keep a minimum balance of $25 in your Checking Account on the last day of the month only to qualify to earn a dividend and to avoid a $3 minimum balance fee. Dividends are paid and compounded monthly based on your account’s average daily balance. Members should complete an application online or print an application and take it to a local branch location to open a checking account. Not a member?
