Interest Qualifications

Enrollments must be in place and all the following transactions and activities must post and settle to your Interest Checking account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" refers to the period beginning the first day of the current statement cycle through the last day of the current statement cycle (the first through the last day of the calendar month).

  • At least one direct deposit, or ACH payment transaction (applies to your Interest Checking account only)

  • At least 12 debit card purchases (ATM transactions excluded)¹

  • One Home Banking login

And if you don’t meet these qualifications, don’t worry — your account is still free. And you can get right back to earning your full interest the very next cycle that you qualify.

Available to personal accounts only.

Only one (1) Interest Checking account per Taxpayer Identification Number.

Additional fees may be incurred for the following items: check orders, Overdraft Privilege fees, Returned Item fees, Insufficient Funds fees, Transfer fee, Statement Copy fees (other fees may apply). Imposition of these fees may result in reduced earnings on your account.

¹ APY=Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of December 1, 2022. The interest rate and the APY may change daily after account is opened based on the determination of the credit union board of directors. No minimum deposit to open. If qualifications are met each Monthly Qualification Cycle, balances up to $10,000.00 receive an APY of 5.00%;. Qualifying transactions must post to and settle account during Monthly Qualification Cycle. Transactions may take one (1) or more banking days from the date transaction was made to post to and settle an account. Transfers between accounts do not count as qualifying transactions. ATM-processed transactions do not count towards qualifying debit card transactions. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" is the same as monthly statement cycle. Fees may reduce earnings. Only one (1) Interest Checking account per Taxpayer Identification Number. 

A posted transaction occurs when funds are actually withdrawn from the account. Posted debit purchases may vary by merchant; therefore, we have no control over these delays. Reversed debit card purchases will not count toward the required total. Debit card transactions processed by merchants and received as ATM transactions do not count towards qualifying debit card transactions. Only debit card transactions processed by merchants and received as POS transactions count towards qualifying debit card transactions.

VISA Debit Card

Valley Credit Union’s VISA Debit Card can be used as an ATM card or as a check anywhere that VISA is accepted. The VISA Debit Card allows you to make payments, purchases, or cash advances without the hassle of writing a check and will work 24-hours a day. Transactions will appear on your monthly statement showing the date and amount of purchase and the name and location of the merchant, enabling you to track your purchases conveniently.

Another feature available for our Debit Card is Card Management, available through our VCU Mobile App. Card Management allows you to lock/unlock your debit card, set up purchase alerts to your phone or email, and report your card lost/stolen.

Apple Pay, GooglePay, Samsung Pay

These convenient payment options pair your device with your existing Valley Credit Union debit or credit card to complete transactions without your wallet.  It is more secure than using plastic cards, because it never uses or stores your actual card numbers. Your debit or credit card numbers are never shared with merchants or transmitted for payment.

VCU Watches Out for Our Members!

Valley Credit Union has a 24/7 Debit card, ATM card, & VISA Credit card monitoring system, known as Falcon. Falcon monitors our member’s cards for any type of suspicious activity that may occur. If suspicious activity occurs on the member’s card, Falcon will try notifying our member to verify the information. They will not verify information with someone whose name is not on the card. If Falcon is unable to verify the activity with our member, the card will immediately be blocked. Our members may contact any of our locations about a blocked card or, if it is after hours, they may contact 1-800-292-8920. Falcon will contact the primary number on your account, so please make sure your phone number remains current in case of an emergency.
