Peoples First Community Bank :: CheckMate Savings

CheckMate Savings Account

The CheckMate Savings account is an account for our clients who also have checking accounts at Peoples First Community Bank. All deposits are made through the checking account. Our CheckMate Savings account is a great place to "park" surplus funds when ready access to your money and a good rate of interest are essential. Or, if you're just building your cash reserves, this account was created especially for you.

When your balance is $5,000 or more, your CheckMate Savings account will earn comparably to money market rates of interest. CheckMate Savings requires that you have a Peoples First Checking Account. It only takes $100 to get one started and as long as you maintain a balance of at least that amount, there's never a monthly service charge.
