It's Your Money—Don't Pay to Use it!

There’s no reason you should pay to use your own money. No matter which Freedom checking account you choose, you’ll never pay a monthly maintenance fee here. Plus, we provide freebies like Mobile and Online Banking, free e-Statements, free VISA® Debit Card transactions, and nationwide access to over 80,000 fee-free ATMs.
Mistakes happen and sometimes there are not enough funds in a checking account to cover all debit charges. We offer multiple options for overdraft protection.
