There is no monthly statement-processing fee. We will send you a statement of your Checking account free every month.

Free Checks

Receive Free Basic checks, whenever you need them.

Duplicate Copies of Each Check

The checks we offer come with carbonless copies – so you’ll automatically write a non-negotiable duplicate every time you issue a check. Checks are not returned on a monthly basis – so these copies serve as receipts. For a small fee, check copies may be ordered for proof of payment.

Debit/ATM Card Access

Your Checking account and Debit/ATM Card go hand in hand. In fact, you will need a United Financial Checking account in order to use the Debit/ATM Card for debit transactions. Click Here to OPT IN for Overdraft Services
