If you're still paying for checking, it's time to switch to DCCU - stop paying for your checking account and get something back instead! DCCU offers two types of checking accounts to meet your needs.
Grow Checking from DCCU pays you dividends for using your debit card each month.
If you love using your debit card, but don’t usually keep a large balance in your checking account, then our Rewards option may be the better fit for you.
Below are some of the great benefits included in both DCCU checking accounts.
No one likes to overdraw their checking account, but sometimes it happens. DCCU offers three options to protect yourself from “bouncing” a check or overdrawing your account with a debit card purchase:
Having a form of overdraft protection reduces the cost of paying returned check/item fees to merchants. You may choose to have more than one form of Overdraft Protection and prioritize the order in which they are used. Any type of Overdraft Protection covers all types of transactions that might overdraw your account, including:
The exact amount of money needed to bring your balance to $0 is transferred, and a fee is charged.
This is a line of credit tied to your checking account, and money is transferred in $100 increments. Interest accrues until repaid.
Also referred to as Courtesy Pay, DCCU pays the item on your behalf, taking your account negative. Fees are charged, and you must bring your account to $0 or greater within two weeks.
DCCU may determine whether or not to pay an overdraft based on factors such as a member’s account history. Whether a transaction will be paid is at the discretion of the credit union and we cannot guarantee we will always authorize and pay a transaction.
Early Pay now gives you access to eligible direct deposits to DCCU accounts – including paychecks, retirement, and social security – up to two business days sooner. No enrollment required.

If you have joint owners on your checking account, both members receive their own debit card with its own number and PIN. If one card is lost or stolen, the other member isn’t inconvenienced.
