Checking Account
Checking for Life
You’re on the go and you need a checking account that can keep up. And whether you’re grabbing groceries on the way home from work, paying your monthly electric bill, or headed out to dinner with friends, our checking account is up for the challenge. It’s free, has no minimum balance requirement, and, of course, offers 24/7 access to your money in online and mobile banking.
Our checking account sprinkles savings throughout your days, as well, with:

Debit card rewards
Filling up your gas tank? You can get rewarded for that. Hitting the drive through before your kids’ soccer practice? You can get rewarded for that, too. For all of life’s everyday expenses, pay with your PSECU debit card and you can earn $.05 or $.10 on eligible purchases1.

70,000+ Surcharge-free ATMs +ATM rebates
Whenever you need cash, we make it easy to get it. Whether you’re close to home or traveling across the country, you can access your cash easily at more than 70,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide. Can’t find an in-network ATM? We offer ATM rebates2.

No-fee Overdraft Protection Transfer Service
No one wants to overdraft their account, but sometimes, mistakes happen. Maybe you wrote a check and the recipient took weeks or months to cash it. Or perhaps you made a mental note to transfer the funds from your savings to your checking but, well, you just forgot. For these instances and more, you can put a backup plan in place by enrolling in our no-fee Overdraft Protection Transfer Service. This means that if you try to spend more than you have in your checking account via check, ACH transaction or bill payer, we’ll automatically transfer funds from the linked account 3 with no fee.
