Flexible checking options with a debit card to fit your needs
Introduction
We all use our checking accounts differently, from purchases to direct deposit and everything else in between. That’s why here at Visions, we believe in offering options designed for what matters to you.
Looking for something simple and reliable? Our Flex Checking account has no minimum balance or deposit requirements – just use your money however you want, wherever you want.
Speaking of wherever you want, our Flex Checking Plus is perfect for travelers, reimbursing ATM fees and saving you big when you’re out of town. Not only that, it rewards you for building your savings, too, earning you dividends on your deposits – and a whole lot more.
With either checking option, you could enjoy 24/7 convenience and secure payments with a Visa® debit card – free of charge! Open your new Flex Checking or Flex Checking Plus in digital banking, over the phone at 800.242.2120, or at your local branch.
