Fresh Start Checking
If you've had banking problems in the past and have been reported to ChexSystems, you may be finding it difficult to open a new checking account. Cyprus Credit Union offers our Fresh Start Checking program that is designed to help you improve your financial standing and create a fresh financial future.
How to Start?
Apply online or schedule an appointment at any of our branches. There is a $25 account opening fee as well as a monthly fee of $5. Deposit your payroll and/or Government checks and you can begin utilizing your Fresh Start checking account immediately.
