Minimum Amount Checking Accounts?

Q: Do I have to have a minimum amount of money in account? I've heard some places you have to have $100. Thank you.


Answer: Thanks for your question. It depends on the account. Our popular "Free Checking" account does NOT require a minimum balance at any time. At no time will you be charged a fee unless your balance goes negative. Centennial's Totally Free Checking will always remain Totally Free!

However, all our checking and savings accounts including Free Checking require an opening amount of $100, and some accounts, minus Free & Diamond Checking, will charge a small fee if the balance dips below $100.

That's pretty much standard practice in the banking industry. Some small fees are necessary for banks to maintain operating funds. But we think you'll find that compared to other banks, Centennial's charges are much less. No "nickel-and-diming" here.

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.


The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs"). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.
