A checking account serves as a financial lifeline. It literally pays the bills and keeps you and your money moving. With a financial tool this valuable, you want to choose a checking account that works smartest for you. Here are a few reasons to consider switching your checking to us.
1. We give you options:
• Choice Checking – Our no monthly service fee checking account goes beyond basic with no monthly minimum balance plus the option to add features (three of your choice), so you can tailor your checking to the way you use it.
• Choice Checking with Interest – Offers all the choices of Choice Checking but with the added ability to MAKE money. It earns interest monthly so you can build up your balance.
• E-Checking – It’s a checkless checking account designed to build financial stability. More importantly, it’s a solution for some who have a hard time getting approved for a checking account.
All Avadian checking accounts feature a minimum opening deposit requirement. See Truth in Savings disclosure for terms and fees associated with each checking account.
2. We’re all about convenience:
• Online, Telephone and Mobile Banking – Check your account balance wherever and whenever from your personal computer, phone or mobile device. You can also deposit your checks via your mobile phone or tablet with our mobile banking app.
• Online Bill Pay – The easy and economical way to pay an unlimited number of bills online and directly from your checking account for free. (Not available for e-Checking accounts.)
• E-Statements – Enjoy all the benefits of a paper statement but with less clutter. View or save each month’s statement online.
3. We’re safe and secure.
• We have a 5 Star Superior Rating from BauerFinancial, Inc., the nation’s leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm. No institution pays BauerFinancial to rate it, nor can any choose to be excluded.
• We are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration. In layman’s terms, this means your money is safe. Much like banks use FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), credit unions have NCUA. We also offer additional coverage (up to $250,000) through Excess Share Insurance Corporation, a licensed insurance company.
The best part and one of the biggest reasons to switch to us is it’s EASY…thanks to our 5-Step Switch Kit. Contact us at 1.888.AVADIAN (1.888.282.3426) to make the move today.

Like what you’ve heard about our checking accounts, but worried about the work involved in switching? We hear you! With our Switch Kit, you can switch everything, including direct deposits and automatic payments, to one of our checking accounts in five simple steps.
1. Open an Avadian checking account.
If you don’t already have a savings account with us, you will need to open one first. All it takes is $5. Once you do, you will be eligible to apply for all of our other great products and services, like our checking. With our checking account, you enjoy checking that’s better tailored to your needs. Plus you’re eligible for our popular Centsible Savings program, which you definitely want to ask us about!
2. Stop using other accounts.
Discontinue using your checking account at your other financial institution. Let all your outstanding checks and debit card transactions clear. This may take several days. Destroy your old checks and debit cards. We will be happy to shred these items for you, just drop by your local branch with items in tow.
3. Move direct deposits.
Immediately contact your payroll office and/or fill out our Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Give this form to your employer’s payroll department, the Social Security Administration, your retirement plan, or any other source of direct deposit. To transfer your direct deposit to Avadian, simply include a deposit slip or voided starter check from your new Avadian account. A Standard Form 1199A must be filled out for Social Security direct deposits. These are available at all Avadian locations.
4. Switch automatic payments and withdrawals.
Use the Automatic Payment Change form to change any automatic withdrawals or payment services. Don’t forget any payments that use your old debit card number.
5. Close other account.
Once you have completed the four steps listed above, you can close your old account by simply sending the Funds Transfer Authorization form to your former financial institution.
Complete these steps, and you are ready to start using your Avadian checking account. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Member Service at 1.888.AVADIAN (1.888.282.3426).
