MIT FCU is federally insured by the NCUA
*There is no minimum balance to open a Checking Account with MIT Federal Credit Union. To earn dividends on either Plus Checking or Select Checking, you must maintain the Minimum Daily Balance as indicated. No dividend will be paid on days when the balance falls below the required minimum. No dividends are paid on the Basic Checking account. Fees: Plus Checking - $5.00 monthly fee if the daily balance falls below $2,500 at any point in the month. The fee will be withdrawn from your checking account. Select Checking - $8.00 monthly fee if the daily balance falls below $10,000 at any point during the month. The fee will be withdrawn from your account. The rate may change after account opening. Fees could reduce earnings on the account.
**Express Payday - Preauthorized ACH credits received by MIT Federal Credit Union may be credited to your account up to two business days prior to the originally scheduled posting date. If information is not received ahead of time your deposit will not be posted early. Instead, your direct deposit will be posted on your normal payday or as soon as we receive it. MIT Federal Credit Union is not liable if we do not receive the preauthorized credit or fail to deposit these funds to your account early. Please always verify funds are available in your account prior to writing checks or authorizing withdrawals against directly-deposited funds. You are responsible for any overdraft fees from transactions clearing prior to your payroll deposit.
