Checking accounts used to be about paper checks, long teller lines and pens on chains. But we’ve come a long way!
1st United has invested in the technologies that we think are important to simplify your life. Things like online banking, mobile banking, mobile check deposit and paperless statements and notices. You can track and categorize your spending using money manager, setup your bills to be paid automatically using bill pay or receive instant text messages if we suspect fraud on your debit or ATM cards.
And the best part is, it’s all included free with your 1st United checking account.
