Why settle for one reward? First Choice lets you choose interest, cash back, or card-rewards points each month just by meeting simple activity goals (like a direct deposit and 10 debit card swipes). Plus up to $25 ATM-fee refunds each month, free Bill Pay, and an instant-issue Visa debit card.
Switch rewards any time in online banking—because your life (and spending) changes.
Need straightforward access to your money with zero hassle? Regular Checking keeps it simple:
$0 monthly fee and no minimum balance—ever.
Free Visa debit card you can add to Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or Samsung Pay before leaving the branch.
30,000+ surcharge-free ATMs and 5,600 shared branches nationwide for cash, deposits, or payments.
Optional overdraft protection from savings or a low-cost line of credit.
Perfect for members who want a spending account with nothing extra to think about.
From early classes to late-night study sessions, Student Checking helps young adults manage money confidently and conveniently. There are no monthly fees and no balance requirements, so you can focus on your studies—not on banking. After your first 10 debit card swipes, you'll even receive a $75 welcome gift card as a thank-you for joining. The DFCU mobile app makes it easy to track spending, set budgets, and manage your card through CardHub—all with real-time alerts and full access to nationwide ATMs. When graduation arrives, transitioning to another DFCU checking account is seamless—no need to start over. Open on your own at 18 or with a parent as joint owner if you're between 14 and 17. Offer valid for new Student Checking Accounts only. Limit one $75 bonus per member. To qualify, you must complete ten (10) debit transactions within the first 30 days of account opening. The $75 bonus will be deposited into the account within 30 days following the month in which the transaction requirements are met.
