Protect Your Health with 1st Defense™ Checking

Did you know that your checking account can help you stay ahead of cold and flu season this year? With 1st Defense™ checking1, you’re not just getting a place to manage your money—you’re getting access to health tools and discounts that support you and your family when you need them most. From virtual care to prescription savings, 1st Defense™ checking makes everyday wellness more accessible, affordable and convenient. Let’s take a closer look at how 1st Defense™ checking can help you and your family stay well. 

 

24/7 Access to Telehealth2* 

Fever at 9 p.m.? Sore throat on a Sunday morning? Instead of waiting for an appointment or visiting urgent care, 1st Defense™ checking gives you access to telehealth services around the clock—all with zero copays! You can speak with licensed medical professionals by phone or video—anytime, anywhere—making it easier to get quick answers and treatment suggestions when symptoms first appear. This is especially helpful during cold and flu season when appointments are limited, and germs are everywhere. 

 

Discounts on Prescriptions 

Medication costs add up quickly, especially during the winter months. With health discount savings3* included in 1st Defense™ checking, you can save on common prescriptions for seasonal illnesses like bronchitis, sinus infections and strep throat, as well as medications you rely on all year long. It’s a simple way to keep costs manageable. 

 

Support for Everyday Wellness 

Good health isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about maintaining wellness year-round. With 1st Defense™ checking, you’ll also get access to valuable savings that help you stay proactive about your health: 

  • Vision services: Save on eye exams, glasses, contacts, LASIK and more. 

  • Dental care: Keep your mouth healthy while saving on dental services from trusted providers. 

These discounts make it easier to take care of yourself without putting extra strain on your budget. 

 

Convenient Care for Busy Families 

Between work, school schedules and holiday plans, no one has time to get sick. Having telehealth access and medical discounts built into your checking account means: 

  • No extra subscriptions to juggle 

  • No searching for separate programs 

  • No surprise fees to worry about 

It’s everyday peace of mind—right from the account you already use and trust. 

 

A Smarter Way to Prepare for the Season 

Cold and flu season is unpredictable, but your approach to healthcare doesn’t have to be. With 1st Defense™ checking, you can access convenient telehealth services, save on prescriptions and manage wellness all in one place. It’s an easy way to stay proactive, save time and reduce stress for you and your family.
