PrimeTime Checking

Let your money work for you with a PrimeTime account, which features a variable interest rate that’s compounded and credited monthly. This account does require a $300 minimum balance to avoid a $3 monthly maintenance fee, and one account holder must be at least 50 years of age. It’s a great account for people looking to build retirement savings while enjoying easy checking and for those who are able to keep a little bit of a higher balance in their checking account.

As you get older, you want your savings to grow even faster. The PrimeTime account design considers how financial priorities change as you age. You may have an empty nest or getting ready for travel or retirement. Whatever life stage you’re in, you want a bank account with flexibility, and the PrimeTime account also cuts down on extra fees that can quickly pile up, such as using a non-PeoplesBank ATM.

Additional benefits of a PrimeTime account include:

• Enjoy picking out checks you love at no extra cost. You receive free specially designed, personalized PrimeTime checks.
• Avoid overdraft fees, which can accumulate through a simple miscalculation, by linking to another PeoplesBank account for protection.
• Receive multiple bonuses at no additional cost. You enjoy waived fees for notarized signatures and up to four non-PeoplesBank ATM withdrawals per statement cycle.

*Round-up savings feature may be suspended at the clients request.
