Straight-forward, no nonsense Free Checking Account*

Altra’s Free Checking Account offers lots of convenient features that make managing your account easy on you (and your wallet)! But there is one thing we don’t have – fees if you don’t keep a minimum balance.

Opening an account is easy online or stop into one of our many branches. Already have checking elsewhere? No problem, use our Checking Switch Kit to move your account!

If you choose to not accept eStatements, a service charge will be applied to receive monthly paper statements (excludes ages 17 & under). Membership eligibility required. Available for personal accounts only; not available to Guardianship, Rep Payee, or UTMA accounts. One account per person. A joint account holder age 18 or over is required if minor account holder is under the age of 16.
