ALL our access checking accounts include the following features:

Simply download the MyGeorgia App from Google Play or Apple Store.
We only require that you be enrolled in Electronic Statements, your account has been open for at least 30 days, and you're in good standing with the credit union.
Mobile Banking
You have FULL access to your account. Monitoring your account and making transfers has never been easier! For more details about some of the features and convenience click on Mobile Banking.
Mastercard Debit Cards

Debit Lock
Imagine this: You've stopped at the store and - just as you approach the counter - you realize that your debit card is missing! Where did it go?! Do you know where you left it? No worries! If you log into the MyGeorgia app, you can "turn off" your card immediately. Luckily, your card fell between the seats and since you just found it you can "turn on" your card and quickly access your money again!
Remote Control Debit Card feature is only available through the MyGeorgia App. To download the App, visit Google Play or the Apple Store on your smart phone or tablet!
Continuous Transaction Monitoring
We take great pride in protecting your finances. We are continuously monitoring your account transactions to ensure your money is secure. If we ever detect any suspicious activity, our fraud department will contact you from 1-877-445-0706 to confirm this is your transaction.
Our Debit Card combines the economy of a checking account with the convenience and versatility of a credit card even when you are traveling overseas.
Checks
MyGeorgia checking accounts offer checks that can be used to make purchases at many merchants. Some accounts with MyGeorgia offer FREE checks as one of their special features. Accounts that qualify for free checks include the Elite Account, the Money Market Account, and our Teen Account!
What checking account is best for you?
FREE Checking
Just because it’s free DOES NOT mean its sub-par!
No Monthly Fee
It is your money - we think you should be able to keep it. Some institutions may charge you for a per-use check fee, debit card usage fee, or monthly statement fee. Not here! There are no charges applied to your account for its monthly use.
Overdraft Protection
Life happens! MyGeorgia Credit Union understands that unexpected overdrafts occur from time to time - Overdraft Coverage can help.
Interest Checking
Our interest-bearing checking has the same features as our other checking accounts, plus more! You can earn dividends for maintaining an average balance of $1,500 per month.
Interest Paid Monthly
You earn more once you invest more! Check out our Rate Schedule to see the interest that you can earn.

Secured Checking
This unique account is for our members who may need a little assistance rebuilding their financial reputation. No worries if there have been some mistakes in the past! MyGeorgia is going to try and help you.
A deposit of $100 will be placed on hold into your savings account until your account is converted to our FREE Checking account (typically after 6 months)
*$10/monthly fee
6-month Probationary Period
MyGeorgia will monitor your account from the day you open it. Your account can then be converted to a FREE Checking account if there have been no overdrafts, returned items, and your account has maintained a good standing. If your account does have some hiccups along the way, your 6-month probation will reset at the point the account is overdrawn. Your account could be closed if MyGeorgia determines there have been any improper transactions. It is our member’s responsibility to notify the credit union once you have completed the 6-month probation.
Overdraft protection is NOT available on this account.
WAIT! There’s more!
