Checking Accounts

One of the many products First Federal offers is the checking account. First Federal offers the Interest Bearing N.O.W. Checking account, the Personal Non-Interest Checking account, and the Business Checking account. Our checking accounts include imaged cancelled checks.

Personal Non-Interest Checking

First Federal Personal Non-Interest Checking account requires a minimum opening deposit of $100.00. Once open, there is no minimum balance required and no monthly service fees for this account.

Both our N.O.W. Checking and Personal Checking accounts feature Debit Cards for your everyday use - the card that looks like a credit card but works like a check!

Interest Bearing N.O.W. Checking*

This interest bearing N.O.W. account requires a minimum opening deposit of $500.00. When a $500 balance is maintained daily, interest is earned with no monthly service fees and no per check charges. If the balance falls below this minimum during the month, there is a monthly service fee of $5.00, charges of $.10 per check after 20 free items per month, and no interest earned. Special considerations are available for senior citizens, non-profit organizations, and students. Contact a Customer Service Representative for details.

* N.O.W. Checking offered to eligible depositors only, under restrictions from Federal Regulation D.
