1. Personal Checking Accounts

Consumers have the choice between Vantage Rewards Checking, Vantage Personal Checking, and Vantage Personal Interest Checking options.

Vantage Premier Checking is great for large corporations and business owners that require a financial service personalized to cater to the needs of the clients.

With Vantage Rewards Checking, you can earn a competitive rate on balances up to $50,000 by meeting three easy qualifiers each statement cycle. Qualifiers include receiving e-statements via online banking; making at least 15 debit card purchases of any amount; and, establishing 1 direct deposit of $250 or more or 1 ACH debit. Additionally, if all qualifiers are met within the statement cycle, the bank will refund all ATM surcharges incurred within the U.S. during the statement cycle.

Vantage Personal Interest Checking is ideal for professionals or individuals that maintain a high daily balance that they’d like to earn high interest on.

Vantage Personal Checking is best for the average individual, with a low to no balance requirement for this checking account.
