Checking Accounts
Hawks Checking
Hawks Checking is perfect for a first-time checking user. Designed for teens ages 13-17, Hawks has no monthly fees and earns interest on deposits. To help children learn how to manage their funds, debit cards are available with parental permission. At age 18, the Hawks checking automatically turns into our Liberty checking to allow the option to select overdraft services.
Liberty Checking
Liberty Checking is a great choice for a basic checking account. There is no minimum balance required, no per check charges, and no monthly services fees when e-statements are selected. It’s a great option for members that have fluctuating balances.
Advantage Plus Checking
Blackhawk wants to reward our members that use our credit union services by offering the Advantage Plus checking. This tiered variable rate account pays dividends and earns Reward points for purchases. The unique tier structure on this checking pays the highest rate of interest on balances between $100 and $1000. A refreshing change from the typical high balances required on other dividend checking accounts.
Legacy Checking
Created for our members 55 and older, our Legacy checking earns dividends on balances over $500, offers a lifetime of free checks, earns Rewards while you shop, and includes unlimited ATM withdrawals.
Earn Rewards
All of BHCCU checking accounts earn ScoreCard® Rewards for both Credit and Debit card purchases. You can even combine points with any joint owners to reach your purchase goal sooner. Visit Scorecard Rewards for more information.
In addition to Rewards, all of our Blackhawk Checking Accounts have many FREE services:
- Debit card purchases
- Online banking
- Bill pay
- E-statements
- E-alerts
- Mobile banking
