Personal Checking Account

The biggest difference in checking accounts is in the institution that offers it.

It is no secret to say that most checking accounts are kind of the same. They are one of the primary tools for managing your finances. What makes a checking account different, though, is who offers it. How easy do they make it? How much do they charge you for it? What limitations do they put on it?

Our checking account is free. Online Banking is free. The Alabama ONE mobile app is free. There are no minimum balances and you even get a free debit card.
