  • I have recommended CommonWealth to both friends and family to help guide them with their financial needs and goals, with the certainty they would experience the same excellent customer service I have, since 1996.

*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Rate is variable and subject to change at any time. To qualify for the Rewards Checking APY, you must meet the following requirements by the end of each month: be enrolled in eStatements, have direct deposit or ACH deposit transactions totaling $300 or more per month, and have at least 15 debit and/or credit card transactions per month. All qualifying transactions must post to the account and the funds must be available by 3:00pm on the last day of each month. Note: Debit and credit card purchases can take up to 3 days to post and are dependent upon merchant processing times. If you do not meet the Rewards Checking account requirements, you will not receive the APY. Rewards Checking APY is up to a max balance of $20,000 and thereafter standard rate of 0.05% will apply. Membership in CommonWealth required. Limit one Rewards Checking account per member. All new accounts will be verified by ChexSystems. Members with an existing CommonWealth checking account may convert their current account into a Rewards Checking account. Offer is subject to cancellation without notice and cannot be combined with any other offer. No monthly service charge for Rewards Checking. You must opt-in to eStatements to have the $2 monthly paper statement charge waived.

1 At our discretion, we may make the funds for certain ACH credit transactions, including most payroll deposits, available to you before the scheduled payment date of the deposit. Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.
