Core checking accounts

Easy checking for careful budgeters

No monthly maintenance fee, no minimum balance, and no non-sufficient fund (NSF) fees.

Your everyday banking is quick and easy with a Global Credit Union Core checking account—whether you’re paying your monthly bills or getting cash from the ATM for a big night out.

  • No monthly maintenance fee.
  • No minimum balance requirement.
  • No transaction limit.
  • No non-sufficient fund fee.
  • No fee to transfer money between your Global accounts, stop a payment or get a copy of one of your checks.

Easy Access and Top Security

Your Visa Debit Card is linked to your Global Credit Union checking account, and gives you 24/7 access to your savings, money market, consumer loan, or credit line at an ATM.

Your Visa Debit Card includes built-in security features.

  • Visa's Zero Liability Policy protects you from unauthorized charges if your card is stolen.
  • Easily turn on or off your debit card with the Global app.
