Frequently Asked Questions
Which Royal checking account should I choose?
Royal Credit Union offers Smart Checking for people who want no minimum balance and no monthly fee, and Smart Checking Plus for people who keep a higher balance and want to earn dividends. Smart Checking Plus requires keeping your balance above $700 for the entire month to earn dividends and avoid a $10 monthly charge. Royal’s Duo Checking is bundled with a high-yield Duo Savings account that rounds up debit card purchases to boost your savings balance.
Smart Start Checking is available for Members aged 13-25. All of Royal’s checking accounts include a free Visa debit card, free digital banking, and surcharge-free access to more than 40,000 ATMs nationwide.
Does Royal Credit Union charge monthly checking fees?
Royal Credit Union's Smart Checking account has no minimum balance requirement and no monthly maintenance fee. Smart Checking Plus charges a $10 monthly fee only if the balance falls below $700 at any point during the month and waives it entirely when the balance stays above that amount. Both accounts include free electronic statements, free unlimited check writing, and a free instant-issue Visa debit card.
Can I use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay with a Royal account?
Yes, Royal Credit Union’s Visa debit card can be added to Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, allowing contactless payments in stores and online. Royal also offers a free mobile app with camera check deposit, real-time account alerts, and mobile card management if your card is ever lost or stolen.
How do I set up direct deposit with Royal Credit Union?
To set up direct deposit at Royal Credit Union you will need Royal's routing number, 291880411, and your account number, which appears in online banking and on your statement. Give both to your employer or benefits provider, or use Royal's direct deposit authorization form. Direct deposit is free on Royal checking and savings accounts.
