- Free-For-All Checking: Free-For-All Checking means exactly that. No maintenance fees and no charge for online banking or MoneyPass/Allpoint ATMs. You can link your Free-For-All account to another PeoplesBank account for overdraft protection. This checking account is a great option for students and young people starting out with their first checking account in PA or MD. It’s also a good choice if you currently have only a small amount that you wish to keep in checking.
- 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 accountholder 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.
- Direct Deposit: This account does not have maintenance fees but requires at least one direct deposit every 60 days. It comes with one free order of standard checks. It’s ideal for those whose employer offers or insists on Direct Deposit.
