The Best Rewards Checking Account Around

Here’s a closer look at the big benefits of our free personal checking account.

Online Banking

An online checking account is a necessity. Maintain access to your money wherever you are with online banking and Bill Pay. There are no set hours to limit when you can bank! Simply log in whenever, wherever you have a secure internet connection.

Here are just some of our online checking benefits:

Online banking and Bill Pay

  • Access our Personal Finance Manager
  • Easily apply for loans or open new accounts
  • View account balances and history
  • Transfer funds online between Del-One accounts
  • Link accounts from other financial institutions
  • View checks you’ve written
  • Make loan payments online directly from your personal checking account
  • Take advantage of advanced Bill Pay features and scheduling
  • Use alerts and notification options, such as “budget exceeded”

Bill Pay

Save postage and time by paying one-time or recurring bills with ease through online Bill Pay. You can schedule payments in advance, set up payment reminders, ensure payments are received on time and retain funds until paper drafts are presented for payment.

Mobile Banking

In today’s age of technology, there’s no reason you should have to run to a branch to do something simple like deposit a check. You can handle all your banking transactions right from your mobile device! Review account history, transfer funds, receive alerts and more!

Our mobile banking brings added bonuses, which makes sense since it’s part of our Rewards Checking Account:

  • Mobile deposit – Snap a picture of your check and deposit it into your account using your smartphone. It’s really that simple!
  • Mobile wallet – Use your phone to pay for purchases; it’s secure and easy! Whether you are paying in a store or within apps, you can use Apple Pay®, Google Pay™ or Samsung® Pay with your supported mobile device.

eStatements

The benefits of eStatements are easy to see:

Get paid up to 2 days earlier automatically

  • Secure – Your financial statement isn’t in a mailbox, where a thief could access your personal account information.
  • Environmentally friendly – You can skip the paper, save a tree and see your info online.
  • Money saving – When we don’t have to purchase paper for printing statements or pay for postage, we pass the savings along to you in the form of lower loan rates and higher dividends.
  • Timely – Access your statements online as soon as they’re available; there’s no waiting for the letter carrier.
  • Accessible – If you need to see your statement from months ago, an easy login online gets you access.
Making the switch away from mailed paper statements is an easy decision. Go green and get eStatements!

Direct Deposit

There are more important errands in life than driving to the credit union. Save yourself a trip by signing up for direct deposit. No more waiting in line to cash your paycheck! You can have your entire check deposited into your personal checking account, or you can automatically have your funds directed into multiple accounts – checking account, savings, loan payment and even a credit card payment.

Check out these other benefits:

  • Convenience – You can use the time you would normally spend going to the credit union to cash or deposit your check for something more productive. You’ll still get an earnings statement on payday that tells you how much money was deposited, as well as how much was withheld for taxes, company savings plans, etc.
  • Safety – Millions of paychecks are lost or stolen each year. Direct deposit reduces risk and improves security with no loss of convenience.
  • Timely deposits – Not enough time in your day to get to a branch? Direct deposit ensures that your money is deposited on time – even up to two days early! – every time. This turnaround helps on the most hectic days, while on vacation, during holidays and when you are away on business trips.
  • Access – Direct-deposit funds “clear” automatically. You can write checks immediately and use an ATM or your debit card without worrying that your funds haven’t been credited.
  • Earnings – Direct deposit means your paycheck starts earning dividends as soon as possible.
  • Confidentiality – Because your paycheck passes through fewer hands, your financial affairs stay private.
  • Early payday – You may be able to get paid up to two days early automatically with our direct deposit. Jump-start your budgeting and get more time with your money! You gain greater control over your finances and can more easily manage unexpected expenses.

Overdraft Protection

Have you ever overlooked a purchase and found yourself a little short? Have you had unforeseen expenses at just the wrong time? Relax, you’re not stuck paying unnecessary fees. You can bounce-proof your personal checking account with Overdraft Protection. Del-One offers three options for Overdraft Protection: Overdraft Transfers, Premium Overdraft Protection and an Overdraft Line of Credit.

  • Overdraft Transfers – We can link one of your other Del-One accounts as an overdraft source for your personal checking account. Rather than declining a transaction, we’ll move funds to your checking account, and your transaction will be covered.
  • Premium Overdraft Protection – If your checking account is eligible, Premium Overdraft Protection may cover your transactions. Instead of returning an item to the affected merchant, Del-One may pay for the item, saving you from headaches, embarrassment and the cost from retailers. Then your account has up to 30 days to be brought current.
  • Overdraft Line of Credit – No overdrafts, no declined transactions, just easy payments! With an Overdraft Line of Credit, your personal checking account is covered. You can apply for a line of credit and, upon approval, be granted a spending limit. If a transaction comes through for your Del-One checking account and funds are not available, we’ll transfer funds from your line of credit to cover your transaction.
There’s so much at Del-One to make your free checking account rewarding and easy!
