The YOUnique checking account is available to consumer/personal account holders only. If you have met your qualifications during the “monthly qualification cycle”, we will reimburse you for ATM fees imposed during the “monthly qualification cycle” up to $10.00 per month. ATM fee reimbursements will be credited to your account on the last day of your statement cycle.  If you believe that you have not been reimbursed the correct amount, please contact us.

 If you do not meet the qualification requirements in a Monthly qualification cycle, your account will still function as a no monthly maintenance fee checking account; however, it will not receive ATM fee/surcharge refunds or be eligible for rewards for that monthly qualification cycle. Fees can reduce the earnings on the account. Note: ATM withdrawals do not count as qualifying debit card transactions for purposes of earning rewards within this account.  Please note that the debit card transactions MUST post and settle your account during the “monthly qualification cycle”. They may not be in a pending state to qualify as one of the qualifications. Transactions may take one (1) or more banking days from the date the transaction was made to post and settle an account. For the purpose of “monthly qualification cycle”, business day is defined as a calendar day other than a Saturday or Sunday or any of the legal public holidays. “Monthly qualification cycle” is defined as a period beginning the first business day of the calendar month through 2:30:00 pm on the last business day of the calendar month.
