* Qualification for Student Choice Checking requires a parent or guardian as a joint owner on the account, who must agree to be legally responsible for all account activity. If approved, the student’s name will appear on her/his own VISA Debit Card. Minimum $5.00 opening deposit required. For more information, please call 877.ASK.CCCU (877.275.2228). 

**Early fund access depends upon your employer sending us notification of the paycheck ahead of the scheduled deposit date. For this reason, we cannot guarantee early deposits in all cases.
