Checking Accounts

Pinellas Federal Credit Union offers two types of checking accounts to make sure we serve the needs of our community. 

FREE Checking. You can’t get any better than that. No monthly fees, and no minimum balance requirement. It’s everything you need in a bank account, with amazing benefits and no hidden fees.

Restore Checking. We understand that sometimes life happens and people end up with credit challenges. To help, PFCU offers the Restore Checking Account to members with credit scores of 575 or lower and/or who may have been reported to ChexSystems. This enables us to offer a checking account to “unbanked” or “underserved” consumers who would otherwise not be eligible for checking services. It also gives PFCU an opportunity to educate members and consumers about fiscal responsibility and sound money management strategies.
