GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. – Bellco CU has introduced a Max Checking account, offering members a variety of benefits and ways to save money.
The credit union said Max Checking’s features include discounts for shopping, dining, travel and entertainment, cell phone replacement protection, free identity theft recovery services, and savings on prescriptions and eyewear, all powered by BaZing.
Account holders must register at Bazing.com to access these benefits, including discounts and offers from more than 300,000 local, regional and national merchants.
Additional Max Checking benefits include:
* Free ATM use (not including fees charged by ATM owners)
* Free online and mobile banking (carrier rates still apply)
* Free initial box of standard Bellco checks (standard pricing applies to subsequent check orders)
* The ability to reduce or eliminate the $6 monthly account fee. Account holders may receive a credit of $.25 for each valid debit card payment or purchase completed during the month, for up to 24 transactions. The total credit that can be received is $6, effectively eliminating the monthly fee. (A valid transaction is a purchase or a payment using a debit card; it does not include ATM transactions.)
Members who also are enrolled in Bellco’s Online Bill Pay will be able to utilize that service for free, although the credit union said a monthly $6 inactivity fee will be assessed unless all enrolled Bill Pay members complete at least one Bill Pay transaction during each month.
