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.

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.
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.
Four Non-Family Trust ATM transaction fees refunded monthly
If you have to use an out-of-network ATM, we’ll refund up to four transaction fees per month, which opens up the whole world of ATMs for you.
Overdraft Protection Available
Family Trust offers several overdraft protection options. It’s one more way to make your checking account work for you.
