We've got you covered

We subscribe to the belief that people are inherently good and do their best to make smart decisions. What we don’t believe in is judging our members, or making them feel terrible for a mistake that we’ve all made at some point along our own financial journeys.

Maybe you underestimated your monthly expenses, or simply forgot to transfer money between an online checking account and savings account to cover your automatic withdrawals. Whatever the reason, SunWest has designed our overdraft services to protect you in the event you find yourself overdrawn on your checking account.

Our Premier Checking is not your regular checking account. It offers all the comprehensive services of our Essential Checking plus a few more amenities. And we love amenities. When you stay in a hotel, do you take the extra soaps and lotions? We won't tell. You're among friends at SunWest Credit Union, and we are not judging.
Check out our extra lotions that you can take at checkout.

The features below are exclusively yours when you open a Premier Checking at SunWest Credit Union.

Checking accounts aren't well known for paying you back, but a Premier checking account with SunWest earns you dividends at a rate of 0.05% when you keep your balance at $1k or more.

Enjoy unlimited personal check writing. Most of the time, a debit card or online payment works out just fine. However, there are a few places and scenarios where those handwritten love notes are still requested - like apartment complexes, paying the fees for passports and citizenship documents, and your kids' fundraisers.
