When you open a checking account at most Maine credit unions, there is one thing you can check off your list – fees. That’s because 95 percent of Maine’s credit unions offer free checking accounts, and over 90 percent offer free checking accounts with no minimum balance!

This one feature can make a big difference to Maine consumers, especially when striving to save money. Knowing your money is safe, and that every cent you put in your account will stay where it should be, is just another benefit of being a Maine credit union member. And, when paired with better rates on loans, and lower or no fees on other services, it all adds up to significant savings for members!
