Checking


We've built a checking account to meet your needs.

Everyone manages money differently. That’s why we’ve built several great checking accounts with a wide range of different options and features. Things like digital banking, shopping discounts, ID theft assistance, e-Statements and much more. We want to make sure you get a checking account that makes daily money management easy and convenient, and also gives you the perks and extras you value most.

You might want to switch to one of our great checking accounts, but you also might think switching banks is too much trouble. At United Bank, we want to make it easy for you to switch and get an account that’s a better fit for your financial needs. So, we’ve created a comprehensive, downloadable Switch Kit that’ll help make switching banks a breeze.

Looking for a savings account? We’ve built a couple of outstanding Money Market Accounts, too.
