Get paid early
Why wait for payday if you don't have to? Your direct deposit into your RealLife Checking account may be available a full day before your scheduled payday. That means earlier access to your money for bills, groceries, savings, and whatever life has planned.
Check your FICO® Score for free
Keeping an eye on your credit doesn't have to cost you anything. You can access your FICO® Score for free, making it easier to track your credit score and see how your financial habits are paying off. It gets refreshed every three months and it's easy to access in your Online Banking or Mobile App.
Find a surcharge-free ATM almost anywhere
