Checking Accounts

Looking for increased efficiency? We'll empower your company or organization with a checking account tailored to the way you do business.

There's an account for companies of every size

You want solutions that are more than just one-size-fits-all. That's why Commonwealth Credit Union offers three different checking accounts. Choose the one that best fits you based on your volume of business, or your nonprofit organization's daily needs. Every account includes a free debit card for easy, anytime access to funds. If you haven’t yet switched your accounts to Commonwealth Credit Union, we make that easy, too.
You might run a small business, but you have big plans. This account works hard for sole proprietors and business owners with lower volume needs.

For business accounts the limit may be available for ATM and everyday debit card transactions with no action required. Balances displayed do not include the Overdraft Privilege limit. There is no additional cost associated with Overdraft Privilege unless you use it.
