Merrimack County Savings Bank (The Merrimack) is partnering with the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE Fund) and its Bank On initiative to help build financial success. The Merrimack’s new Bank On Certified Checking Account provides access to safe banking with no monthly, overdraft or minimum balance fees.
“A bank account is a critical step towards financial independence, whether you’re opening an account for the first time or reestablishing one,” said Brad Kulacz, SVP Senior Retail Banking Officer at The Merrimack. “Bank On Checking provides convenient banking services along with tools to manage and track your money.”
The goal of Bank On is to ensure that everyone has access to safe and affordable financial products and services. The Bank On National Account Standards offer guidance for financial institutions to prioritize account features that ensure low cost, high functionality and consumer safety.
To open a Bank On Certified Checking Account, visit any of The Merrimack’s nine locations or open an account online at themerrimack.com/personal/checking/.
The CFE Fund’s national Bank On movement supports local coalition and financial institution efforts to connect consumers to safe, affordable banking accounts as a fundamental component of financial stability. Nearly 500 accounts at banks and credit unions nationwide – representing over two-thirds of the national deposit market share – are certified as meeting the Bank On National Account Standards.
