Stress-free checking for your busy life.
A United Trades Federal Credit Union checking account offers the simplicity you need and the flexibility you want.
-
UA Checking
This traditional checking account is simple and easy to use—and free when you either:
- Direct deposit at least $500 into the account each month.
- Maintain a minimum balance of $500
If you don’t qualify, a low $5 monthly fee applies.
-
e-Money
Perfect for the member who prefers online banking, this account pays dividends on balances up to $24,999.
To earn that special dividend payment, each month simply:
- Log in to online banking at least once.
- Enroll in online e-Statements.
- Have at least $500 direct deposited.
- Have 14 or more signature debit card transactions.
If you don’t meet the monthly qualifications to earn dividends, don’t worry you can try again next month.
Plus, this account is free if you maintain a minimum balance of $500 or have at least $500 direct deposited. (Otherwise, there’s a $5 monthly fee.)

Custom Checking
If past banking or financial problems have prevented you from qualifying for a checking account, our Custom Checking account is a great option.
