If your checking account's not free, it's too much.
What if you were suddenly charged for something that’s always been free, like using a public restroom? It would be outrageous and a little infuriating – a lot like what other banks are doing with checking accounts.
At Great Western Bank, our Totally Free Checking account is just that – free. No monthly service fees, no debit card fees, no minimum balance requirement and no required direct deposit.
If you’re fed up with fees, switch to Great Western Bank. We’re dedicated to banking with a community focus. And we’ll never nickel-and-dime you with unfair checking fees.
