“We didn’t just add these benefits to check boxes,” said Karen Roland, Chief Marketing Officer. “We built this account to reflect the real needs of our members—families, students, professionals, retirees and everyone in between. As fraud continues to rise, protecting our members’ personal and financial information has never been more important.”
Much More than a Checking Account
1st Defense™ checking is designed to help you handle real life—the good, the stressful and the unpredictable:
-
Scoring discounts at your favorite local businesses
-
Replacing your teen’s phone after it goes missing
-
Getting hit with identity theft—and needing support
-
Being stranded on the highway
-
Needing health advice on a Saturday night
We have you covered! 1st Defense™ checking combines powerful tools with exclusive benefits you’ll actually use—all for one low monthly price. No juggling subscriptions. No third-party logins. No hidden fees. Just real protection, real savings and real simplicity—built right into your checking account. See the chart below for how it compares to a standard checking account.
Always on Duty™
Just like the benefits it delivers, 1st Defense™ checking is ready when you are. Whether you're upgrading your current account or opening a new one, it takes just a few minutes to enroll in online banking or the Members 1st mobile app. Many benefits activate automatically—but some may require a quick one-time enrollment. After that, you're good to go.
