Interest Checking Account

You can look at our rates table to see the annual percentage yield (APY) and dividend rate you will earn on your account. You need to have a balance of at least $500 to start earning dividends.
You may also consider opening a Regular Share Savings Account, a Term Share Certificate that lets you earn more over longer periods, or a Money Market account that offers higher rates as your balance grows.

Compounding dividends means you earn interest on your deposited funds, and you also earn dividends on the interest that you've earned. The dividends you earn will be paid into your Interest Checking Account monthly.

You can enjoy all the quality products and services that come with other Radiant checking accounts, in addition to earning interest and dividends on your balance over $500:

• As long as you maintain a balance over $500, there is no monthly account fee, monthly service fee, or monthly maintenance fee
• No overdraft transfer fee if you set up transfers from a savings account to cover payments
• Free contactless debit card so you can "tap and go" or make ATM withdrawals
• Free eBanking and Mobile App so you can manage your account anytime, anywhere
• Free Bill Pay so you can easily pay bills
• Free Mobile Deposit so you can deposit a check without visiting a branch
• Free eStatements so you can check your monthly transactions and account balance

• Many Digital Banking Services are free of charge, like transferring money between accounts

Note that some standard banking account fees may apply, for instance, if a check is returned unpaid. You may also need to pay an overdraft fee if you don't choose to set up a savings account for automatic, free overdraft transfers. You can view our account disclosure and fee schedule for full details.
