Direct Deposit
For added convenience, paychecks, retirement checks and government checks can be deposited electronically into your checking account. It's safe, it's easy…and it makes sure your check is deposited without delay!

Ready Reserve
By adding Ready Reserve to your checking account, you can write yourself a loan and protect yourself from accidental overdrafts. It's a line of credit that is attached to your checking account, transferring money automatically in the event of an overdraft. It's also a convenient form of credit, with a competitive interest rate and easy repayment terms.

Image Statements
Most of our checking accounts include monthly "image statements." These statements feature miniaturized images of your canceled checks providing thorough documentation for your records, signature confirmation, and visual verification of all your checking transactions. For easy storage, statements are 3-hole punched and we provide a free "Money Manager" statement binder.
