Checking

Checking That Keeps Life Moving.

Your pay arrives, your bills go out, your card works at the register. A checking account should handle the ordinary parts of your week without you thinking about it.

Direct deposit

Have your paycheck sent straight to the account.

Bill payments

Pay what you owe each month from one place.

Debit card access

Spend in stores and online from your balance.

Account alerts

Notifications for the activity you choose.

Everyday Spending

Spend From a Balance You Can See.

A debit card draws directly on your checking balance, so what you spend is money you already have. Every purchase appears in your activity list with the merchant name and date.

  • Tap, chip or swipePay however the register accepts.
  • Online purchasesUse your debit card, or a virtual card for extra separation.
  • Readable activity"Riverside Market" rather than a string of codes.
How It Works

Money In, Money Out

Four things a checking account does for you every month.

  1. Your paycheck arrives

    Direct deposit sends your pay to the account automatically on payday. You give your employer your account and routing numbers once, and it repeats from there.

  2. Your bills go out

    Set up the payments you make every month — rent, utilities, phone — and see each one as it leaves.

  3. You spend during the week

    Card purchases come off your balance as they happen, so the number you see is close to the number you have.

  4. You move what's left

    Transfer whatever remains into savings, on a schedule or whenever you decide to.

About fees, rates and terms
