CareFree Checking
A refreshing idea created especially for youHere's an account designed by young people for young people just starting out. We have an Advisory Group made up of young people to make sure this account always meets their banking needs. Age is about the only limits they've placed on this account. You can't be younger than 18 or older than 25. At Peoples First, "Juniority" does have its privileges!
You can open your CareFree Checking account with as little as $50 and earn interest on every dollar deposited when your balance is $1,000 or more. You can write as many checks as you want because, unlike so many other banks, there's no per-check charge. And, after qualifying, you can even get a free Visa Check Card and a low fixed rate Master Card.
You've got plenty of things on your mind, and the last thing you need to worry about is being overloaded with bank charges. Enter CareFree Checking from Peoples First Community Bank. If you're under the age of 251, CareFree checking is packed full of great benefits that are specifically designed to meet your needs and fit your lifestyle. Sound almost too good to be true? It's all simply part of putting you first ... with Peoples First.
