Choice Checking Account

You’ll need to provide basic personal information such as your Social Security Number, valid ID, and address. If you’re already a member, you can log in to Online Banking and select Open an account under Open Account. In our mobile app you can tap More then Open an account under the New Account section.

You can fund your Choice Checking account with a $25 minimum deposit. Add funds to your account by: transferring funds from other bank accounts, using Mobile Deposit, or visiting a GECU branch or ITM. Additionally, you can link external accounts to make transfers easier.

Yes, your Choice Checking account includes a free contactless debit card. You can use this debit card for everyday purchases, ATM withdrawals, and online transactions. Once your account is opened, you will receive your debit card by mail.

Yes, you can open a joint Choice Checking account with a spouse, family member, or another individual. Both account holders will have equal access to the account, and each person can be issued their own debit card linked to the joint account.

A non-interest bearing checking account does not earn interest on your balance, while an interest-bearing checking account allows you to earn interest on the funds you keep in the account. Interest-bearing checking accounts typically require a higher balance or may have monthly fees unless certain requirements are met.
