✝Primary member must be age 55+ to qualify.
*There is a $4.95 Monthly Service Fee. Monthly fee is waived with Direct Deposit of $250/month OR no monthly fee if the primary member is under the age of 25. If requirements are not met, the fee will be assessed by the 6th of the following month. New and converted accounts will not be charged a Monthly Service Fee for sixty (60) days. After that the Monthly Service Fee will apply unless you meet one of the ways to avoid the Monthly Service Fee each statement period (if applicable). When the primary account owner reaches the age of 25, age can no longer be used to avoid the monthly service fee. A deposit of $25.00 is required to open.
**There is a $9.95 Monthly Service Fee. Monthly fee is waived with $25,000 in total balances including deposits and loans AND Direct Deposit of $500/month. Qualifying deposit and loan products include Checking accounts, Savings accounts, CDs, Money Market Accounts, Auto Loans, Credit Card Loans, Signature Loans, Home Equity Loans and Mortgages serviced by PMCU. If requirements are not met, the fee will be assessed by the 6th of the following month. New and converted accounts will not be charged a Monthly Service Fee for sixty (60) days. After that the Monthly Service Fee will apply unless you meet one of the ways to avoid the Monthly Service Fee each statement period (if applicable). If primary or joint on a separate account, those balances on qualified products will be considered for the balance requirement; balances are aggregate across all products for which you are primary or joint on (a co-signer on a loan would not be eligible). This account is eligible to earn dividends-view rates. APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are subject to change at any time without notice. A deposit of $25.00 is required to open.
***Overdraft/Courtesy Pay: An overdraft occurs when the available balance of funds in the account you have with us is inadequate to cover a check or electronic transaction (such as with your debit card or through an ATM), but we elect to pay it anyway. A $32.00 fee will be assessed each time an item is paid when there are no funds in an account. A maximum of five (5) fees will be assessed each day. Whether your account has enough money to cover a transaction is determined during our nightly processing. During our nightly processing, we take your previous end of day’s balance and post credits. If there are any deposits not yet available for use or holds (such as a garnishment), these will reduce the account balance used to pay your transactions. Then we subtract any debit transactions presented during our nightly processing. The available balance shown to you during the day may not be the same amount used to pay your transactions as some transactions may not be displayed to you before nightly processing. We have a Standard Overdraft Practice that comes with PMCU checking accounts. We also offer Overdraft Protection and PMCU Debit Card Coverage, which are optional services that can help pay overdrafts when they occur. Please contact us if you would like to discuss your options. Special accounts such as Minor accounts, UTMAs, Estates, Trusts, Conservatorships, Guardianships, Rep Payee and Memorial accounts are not eligible for courtesy pay.
