By Karla CastroUpdated October 29, 2026

Unitus Community Credit Union prints a consumer fee schedule effective 31 July 2026. Check Protect is $30 a transaction, with a limit of 3 fees a day on a membership. A returned NSF item is $30, with the same limit of 3 fees a day. Tru Checking prints no NSF fees and is not eligible for Check Protect. The wider table is US overdraft fees by bank.

Monthly fee by account

Opened 29 October 2026. Amounts below are US dollars. The consumer fee schedule prints no monthly service fee and no balance requirement for Unitus Checking, Optima Interest Checking, Personal Interest Checking, and Tru Checking. A Personal Money Market account is $5 a month if the average balance falls below $2,500. An HSA maintenance fee is $2.50 a month.

Membership is a $10 fee. An initial deposit of at least $5 opens the Prime Share account, and $5 stays in that account. An inactive account is $5 a month after 19 months. That inactive fee does not apply to Tru Checking. The reading guide is US bank fee guides. The line on your own statement is the one that counts. Upload it on the upload page.
