No Hidden Account Fees

We’ll keep it simple: Royal Credit Union’s checking accounts have no hidden fees. You can forget about getting charged for every little thing. Instead of hidden fees, we’re proud to offer more free account features. Royal has checking accounts with no monthly fees*, no statement fees, free stop payments, free access to over 40,000+ ATMs, and free real-time account alerts!

Pay Friends & Family For Free

Royal’s secure person-to-person payments make it easy to send money to anyone – all you need is their email or phone number! Sending someone else money from your Royal account using our person-to-person service is completely free. You can split a restaurant check, pay a parent, or cover a friend in seconds right from the Royal mobile app. When they get your money, it’s deposited right into their real bank account, not an app. There are no fees or strings attached for the recipient, either!

Deposit Checks On The Go

Speaking of our app, it lets you do pretty much everything for your accounts. You can deposit paper checks just by taking a picture from within the app – that means no more trips to the bank office to deposit your birthday money. We’ll miss seeing you, but you’ll save tons of time!

Real-Time Account Alerts

You’ll always be up to date with your account balance and transactions, thanks to real-time alerts. Receive text message or push notifications right from our app for things like high or low balances, deposits, and withdrawals. Set up your alerts, complete with custom dollar limits, right from the Royal mobile app!
