Disclosures
To maintain eligibility for a Free Easy Checking account, you must set up direct deposit or conduct at least 20 Navy Federal Debit Card transactions (any combination of posted debit card purchases or ATM withdrawals) per statement period across all primary checking accounts. Qualifying debit card transactions include: purchases made using PIN, signature, online, phone, or mobile wallet; and withdrawals at Navy Federal or non-Navy Federal ATMs. Non-qualifying transactions include: transfers, inquiries, deposits, and denied transactions at an ATM (Navy Federal or non-Navy Federal); and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. If the account does not meet either requirement for six consecutive statement periods, the account will be converted to the Free EveryDay Checking account at the end of the sixth statement period.
You may qualify for direct deposit if you have (1) a recurring ACH from employer, military pay, or certain government agency pay or benefits in your name that is deposited into a Navy Federal deposit account where you are Primary or Secondary Owner; OR (2) Mobile deposits, ATM deposits, or Branch deposits totaling at least $500 and recurring for at least three out of four consecutive months that are deposited into Navy Federal deposit accounts where you are Primary Owner; OR (3) monthly Non-payroll ACH totaling at least $500 and recurring for at least three out of four consecutive months that are deposited into Navy Federal deposit accounts where you are Primary Owner; OR (4) monthly Non-payroll ACH totaling at least $500 and recurring for at least three out of four consecutive months that are deposited into Navy Federal deposit accounts where you are Secondary Owner.
