The cons of other checking accounts are the pros of Benchmark’s Ultimate Checking Account. Many banks require you to keep a minimum balance in your account at all times to earn rewards. Not Benchmark. There’s no minimum balance required to earn rewards. You also won’t be hit with the high fees most of those larger banks like to charge. In fact, when you need to use an out-of-network ATM, Benchmark will even refund the fees, up to $10 a month.*** Remember, your local credit union is a not-for-profit institution owned by its members. We’re on your side!
