THE SUMMIT IS FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE NCUA. Membership eligibility required. Subject to credit approval. Must be 18 years of age or older to apply.
1. Digital Edge Spend Account: Members with a Digital Edge Spend Account will be exempt from the following fees:
- Account Maintenance Fee
- Share-to-Share Overdraft Transfer Fee
- Courtesy Pay Fees and Courtesy Pay Select Fees if the available balance at the time the transaction posts is less than negative $20 (-$20)*
- First box of personal checks upon account opening
To be eligible for the fee exemptions above, a member with a Digital Edge Spend Account must be less than 27 years of age, enrolled in Electronic Statements, enrolled in Mobile or Online Banking, and must have an Active Debit Card (defined as performing a minimum of ten (10) Debit Card transactions posted during the month on the Digital Edge Spend Account). Members that no longer qualify for the Digital Edge Spend Account will be converted to the Enhanced Checking account (if under 27) or the Digital Freedom Spend Account (when turning 27) and no longer qualify for these fee exemptions. In order to open and maintain a Digital Freedom Spend Account at The Summit the following is required: The primary account holder must be 27 years of age or older, enrolled in E-statement (electronic) delivery, enrolled in Mobile or Online Banking Services, and must perform a minimum of ten (10) Debit Card transactions that post each month on the Digital Freedom Spend Account. If these requirements are not maintained, the account will automatically convert to an Enhanced Checking account after 90 days.
*Courtesy Pay and Courtesy Pay Select Fees are $29 per transaction if the available balance is equal to or greater than negative $20 (-$20) at the time the transaction posts. Courtesy Pay includes checks, ACH, bill payments, and recurring debit card transactions. Courtesy Pay Select is optional and covers ATM and one-time debit card transactions. Any overdraft must be repaid within 10 days after the transaction. Courtesy Pay and Courtesy Pay Select transactions are not guaranteed and are paid at the discretion of The Summit. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, or you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts.
2. If the average daily balance of a Premium Checking Account falls below $1,000 in any month, a fee will be applied to the account for that month. Must maintain a $1,000 average daily balance to earn dividends. See Rate and Fee Schedule.
3. Account Maintenance Fee: If applicable, the $5.95 fee will be deducted from Primary Savings account on the last day of the month. If funds are not available, Account Maintenance Fee will be deducted from your checking account (if applicable). No Account Maintenance Fee will be imposed if you meet one of the exemptions. Please see our Rate and Fee Schedule for the full list.
4. Cash Back and Bonus Point amounts and Program discounts and Coupon Values vary in the sole discretion of the applicable participating retailer or service provider.
