Everyday Value for Your Everyday Needs
With a Connect Checking account, you’ll enjoy these benefits.
Easy Account Requirements
The low monthly service charge can be waived with 6 purchases made with your GNCU Visa debit card, or 10 years of membership, or you are 65+ years old.1
No Minimum Balance
No need to maintain a minimum balance in any of our checking accounts (but we recommend keeping a healthy amount in yours anyway).
Every Card Purchase Counts
Unlike elsewhere, both PIN (debit) and signature (credit) purchases with your debit card qualify towards the monthly qualifications.
Safe & Secure Digital Banking
We understand that you don’t always want to make a trip to a branch. That’s why we made banking online and through our mobile app easy to use so you can bank anytime, anywhere you’d like.
Nationwide ATM Access
We partner with other credit unions and ATM providers to extend your access to offer fee-free transactions at over 30,000 ATMs across the U.S. through the CO-OP Shared ATM network.
Always On Patrol
Rest easy knowing we actively monitor all member accounts for fraud with help from Falcon Fraud. Your GNCU Visa debit card can be directly managed through Card Controls found in Digital Banking, and it also comes with coverage under Visa’s Zero Liability Policy.2
