1 When you meet the monthly qualifications for your Ea$y Checking account, Ea$y Cash Rewards accumulate and are credited to your account at the end of each day. For the Monthly Qualifications you must enroll in eStatements (this requirement is waived for members age 55 and older) and make qualifying debit card purchases of $10.00 or more. Reward Amount: Earn $0.50 in cash rewards for each qualifying debit card purchase of $10.00 or more, up to a maximum of $20.00 per month. Rewards are variable and may change after the account is opened. Transactions That Do Not Qualify: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases that merchants process, and Floridacentral Credit Union receives, as ATM transactions, and purchases made with debit cards not issued by Floridacentral Credit Union. Additional Terms: No minimum balance is required. Restrictions apply to discretionary Courtesy Pay. Discretionary Courtesy Pay is available only to Primary Accountholders age 18 or older.

2 Early Paycheck is available for members who have set up direct deposit with their employer or other payers to receive electronic deposits of regular periodic payments (such as salary, pension, or government benefits). Early direct deposits may be available to you up to 2 days earlier, however, we are dependent on the timing of your payer’s payment instructions, and therefore you may not always see your direct deposits arrive early. Terms are subject to change without notice.
