Priority Checking
Priority Checking earns interest on all balances with no monthly conditions to meet. It is the account for someone who keeps a larger balance and would rather not track debit card counts or direct deposits.
It takes $750 to open, and that is also the balance to stay above. Fall below it and there is a $7 fee for that month. Paper statements are free and included.
If you want interest without the $750, First Checking earns it too, though it asks you to meet three conditions each cycle.

Questions about priority checking
Do I have to do anything each month to earn interest?
No. Interest is paid on all balances with no transaction or deposit requirements. The only thing to watch is the $750 minimum.
What if I drop below $750?
A $7 fee applies for that month. The account is not closed and nothing else changes.
