We know that when you’re a student, money can be tight. That’s why we’ve designed a checking account just for you. Our Student Advantage checking, available to qualifying members aged 17 through 22, offers all the same features as our regular checking plus this big advantage: the specially designated Student Advantage checks are free.* 

No maintenance fees, no per-check charges and free checks…it may not be free tickets to football games, but it’s a student advantage you can’t afford to ignore.

In addition, as a Student Advantage checking account holder you can apply for a VISA^® check card** to extend your banking and point-of-sale transaction capabilities. With your VISA^® check card you can make purchases at any merchant who accepts Visa and you can withdraw cash 24/7 at any First Choice, Easy Street or Money Pass ATM at no charge.***

Student Advantage statements are issued monthly. Sign up for e-statements and receive your statement via e-mail over our secure server.

To further complement your Student Advantage account, we offer an array of value-adding services.

• Free 24-hour ATM access at First Choice and participating credit union locations
• Tele-Trans Audio Response, which provides 24-hour access to your account information via telephone
