At the end of each month, your rewards will be deposited into your Member Loyalty Account (MLA)! If you don’t meet the rewards requirements, you’ll still have a checking account with no minimum balance and no monthly maintenance fees.

*Early access to money from a direct deposit depends on when the payer submits the payment file. Centra generally makes your direct deposit available on the day the payment file is received, which may be one day earlier than the scheduled payment date.

1. Debit card rewards exclude ATM transactions. 2. A foreign ATM fee is the fee another financial institution charges you to use their ATM. Any ATM that does not have Centra’s logo or is not a part of Centra’s free CO-OP ATM Network is generally considered a foreign ATM.
