I bank with three separate credit unions but the way they treat you here, is just like you are family. Amazing financial institution I started membership via a second chance checking account. They have helped me with all of my financial goals and have laid a solid foundation for my lending needs. Hands down best small bank where you feel apart of !!!! I cannot say anything else but if you are in need of family style banking feel free too join and enjoy the perks of being a member

Frequently Asked Questions About Checking Accounts

 

How can I get paid early?
By setting up for direct deposit through any of our checking accounts you can receive the deposit early. One thing to keep in mind is that early direct deposits depend on timing. Your payer must provide payment details on time so the deposit can process early. If your deposit doesn't arrive to us early, expect it to arrive on your scheduled payday.
What if I have had credit issues in the past? Can I still open an account?
If you've had an unfortunate experience with a checking account in the past, we may be able to help. Learn more about our Restart Checking Account here.
Do I have to be close to a Finex branch to bank with you?

Although we have convenient locations available for service, you can use one of over 55,000 surcharge-free AllPoint Network ATMs and over 5,000 credit union shared branches nationwide as a member of Finex CU. You can make deposits and withdrawals free of charge when you’re our member. Finex also has a variety of Mobile Banking functions, so we really can be wherever you are.
