Checking account fees are changing. Here is how to keep yours fee-free.

At Latino Community Credit Union, our commitment has always been to provide accessible, affordable financial services to our members and communities.

Your trust allows us to reinvest in programs, services, and opportunities that help our members grow, succeed, and build brighter financial futures.

As part of this commitment, we’re making a small update to our checking account fee, while continuing to reward members who actively use and grow their accounts.

Effective May 4, 2026, the monthly maintenance fee for the regular checking accounts will change from $2 to $5. 

We understand that fees matter, and we want to make it easy for our members to enjoy free checking. You will automatically qualify for a fee waiver when you meet one of the following requirements each month

  1.  Keep a Daily Balance: Maintain an average daily balance of $500 in your checking account or maintain a combined average balance of at least $1,500 across all qualifying accounts including Regular Savings, Money Market, Share Term Certificate (STC), and Retirement Accounts. 
  2. Set Up Direct Deposit: Receive at least one direct deposit of $500 or more into your checking account each month. 
  3. Use Your Debit Card: Make at least 15 debit card purchases per month, either in person or online. 
  4. Build Your Credit: Open a Secure Credit Card or Credit Builder Loan and enjoy free checking while building your financial future. 

Our goal is to provide flexible options, reward your everyday habits, and offer you multiple ways to stay fee free. Choose the option that works best for you.

If you have questions, our team is here to support you. 

This update allows us to reinvest in our members and community while continuing to reward active account use and long-term financial growth.

The new monthly fee begins on May 4, 2026.

If you don’t qualify for a waiver, the monthly fee will be $5.

No action is required. You don’t need to sign up. Each month, we’ll apply the first option you qualify for based on your account activity.

If requirements are not met in a given month, the monthly fee will apply for that month only. You can qualify again the following month by meeting any of the four options above.

No. Youth Checking remains free until age 18. At 18 the Youth Checking account becomes a Regular Checking account, and the members can keep their account free by meeting one of the waiver options.

Members can contact our Member Service Center (MSC) at (919) 595-1800 or visit your nearest LCCU branch. Our team is always here to support you and help you choose the option that works best for you.

Our staff is happy to help you set up direct deposit, review your account activity, and guide you towards free checking.

The monthly fee will be charged on the last day of each month.

You can view your status on your monthly statement, through LatinoConnect or by contacting us for assistance.

Joint accounts are evaluated based on the combined activity of all account holders.
