VIENNA, Va., Oct. 14, 2011 — With many banks going through changes in how they manage checking accounts, customers may start looking elsewhere for ways to keep the cost of personal banking down. In some cases, this may involve switching their checking account to another bank or credit union.

In addition to 45,000 free ATMs worldwide, customers can also experience ATM rebates, unlimited transactions, and no monthly service fees. There is also no minimum balance requirement, and complete online services that allow members and the families of those in the military checking account access around the clock.

Navy Federal Credit Union checking accounts offer great perks, including a free nationwide ATM network, and while other financial institutions charge debit transaction fees, they've kept that free, too. You can spend freely with Navy Federal Credit Union and checking also comes with a free debit card, unlike the other guys.

For active men and women in the military, checking options expand to Active Duty Checking, which includes extra benefits such as free Traditional/Military wallet or wallet duplicate checks for the life of the account, unlimited check-writing privileges, and ATM fee rebates at Visa/PLUS System ATMs for up to $20 per statement period.
