Share Draft Accounts

More Than a Checking Account

The term "share draft" comes from you writing a "draft" (another term for a check) against a "share" account you have as a member of the Credit Union. There are some important differences between our share draft accounts and the checking accounts for most banks. Most noticeably, they are:

  1. 1 No minimum balance. You don't get penalized for going below any set level on your share draft account as one does with checking accounts at many banks.
  2. 2 Low monthly fee. Your Credit Union share draft account costs you only $1.00 per month
  3. 3 Unlimited checks. For that $1.00 per month, you have unlimited check-writing privileges.
  4. 4 No returned checks. An important difference between our share drafts and the banks are we keep a record of all your checks at a central location where they can be accessed should you need them. You don't have to keep an endless number of cancelled checks filling up a file at home!
  5. 5 Monthly statements. Like a bank, you get a concise, accurate, easy-to-balance statement at the end of the month.
  6. 6 On-line Access. You can access your statements and account information on-line when you sign up for the on-line services through the Credit Union.
  7. 7 Multiple Accounts. For only $1.00 per month per account, you can have several share draft accounts to fit your needs.
  8. 8 Overdraft Protection. We offer our members overdraft protection either by a transfer from their savings or by an overdraft loan should the need arise.
