Your life is complicated enough. You don’t need a checking account that’s complicated, too. You just need to be able to make purchases, pay bills, get direct deposit, and manage your account when and where it’s convenient for you. And that’s exactly what you’ll get with True Choice Checking. Everything you need in a checking account, and nothing you don’t.

One thing you will get with this account, though, is our non-profit credit union. Which means at Family Trust, our first priority is your financial welfare, not our own profit. We’re here to help make your financial life easy and rewarding. That’s it. Because here, you come first.

 

Here’s everything you get with True Choice Checking

 

Free Visa® Debit Card

This go-everywhere card makes using it fast, secure, and easy; it gives you essential protections on your purchases, too.

Free digital banking with Mobile Deposit, BillPay, and eStatements

Manage your account anytime and just about anywhere from your computer or mobile device, assuming you’re connected to the internet! You can pay your bills anytime and in just a few clicks, or set up automatic bill payment and basically let your bills pay themselves. And our free eStatements are greener, more secure, and much easier to store than paper statements.

Apple Pay

With Apple Pay, you can securely store your Family Trust Debit Card information on your mobile device and use it to make cardless and contactless payments just about anywhere.

Overdraft Protection Available

Family Trust offers several overdraft protection options. It’s one more way to make your checking account work for you.

Review all options before signing up for these optional services. Enroll by phone 803-367-4100 or at any local branch.
