Upgrade your checking. It’s Remarkably easy!
A checking account is more than just a way to fund the checks you write (if you still write them). It’s a central hub for most of your financial activity. Your debit card purchases, your online bill payments, your transfers — there’s a good chance that your checking account is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
But it can do more. Remarkably more.
Remarkable Checking from OCCU is a free checking account with no fees or minimum balance, unlimited ATM usage2 and a great interest rate that lets you earn while you spend.
To earn the most possible interest, all you have to do is meet a few simple requirements each month:
- Use your debit card 12 times.
- Set up at least one direct deposit or auto-pay.
- Sign up for eStatements.
When it comes to your money, why should you settle for anything less than remarkable? Imagine the possibilities that could open up when you start earning more from your checking. Learn more about how you could benefit from opening a Remarkable Checking account today.

2Foreign ATM fees charged by non-OCCU and non-Co-op financial institutions for the use of their ATMs will be automatically credited back to your account by OCCU at the end of the statement cycle. This credit is subject to meeting the qualifying factors. Statement Cycle = first day of the calendar month to the last day of the calendar month. Example: May 1 – May 31.
3Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. OCCU may, but shall not be required to under any circumstances, make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to three (3) days earlier than the scheduled payment date. OCCU does not assume any liability for not depositing these funds to your account early. OCCU may terminate early access at any time without notice.
