From free online checking accounts to online-only banks, there's no question that you have more choices than ever when it comes to where to bank, but all financial institutions are not equal. One of the most important advantages of choosing a credit union is that it is owned by its members. Everyone who banks at Space Coast Credit Union automatically becomes a member when they open a Share Savings account, which is our primary membership account. And what does membership really mean? It means that instead of having a group of executives making decisions about our financial institutions, we have a board of directors. Each board member is elected and each is an SCCU member, so you know that they'll make decisions with your interests in mind.

More reasons to consider banking with SCCU include the access you'll have to great interest rates, whether you're borrowing to buy a new home or vehicle, or saving with an IRA or CD. You'll also enjoy new ways to save, from valuable rewards to checking accounts with no fees.

Lastly, you'll also have peace of mind: Your deposits are insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).

The best free checking account is the one that meets all of your needs for security and convenience, and that offers the features that are most important to you. At Space Coast Credit Union, you can have it all:

• Security: Just as the FDIC protects deposits in traditional banks, your deposits (up to $250,000) are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). SCCU also protects your personal information from unauthorized use and access.
• Convenience: If you like to do your banking in person, Space Coast Credit Union has branches from Palm Coast to Homestead, and all points in between. If you'd rather take care of your banking when it's most convenient for your schedule, we have Online Banking, Online Bill Pay, and more.
• Benefits: No matter what type of checking account you open with Space Coast Credit Union, you'll enjoy a free Visa® debit card, free online statements, free direct deposit, free ATM transactions at more than 90 locations, and so much more.
