This is our most benefit-rich checking account, and you only need to keep a minimum balance of $1,000 in any account other than checking to hold this account.

No. It’s really a free checking account. There are no monthly or yearly fees for either our checking or savings account.

We don’t require a minimum balance in this Golden Star Senior Checking account but ask that you keep a minimum balance of $1,000 in an account other than this one. Doing so earns you all the extra benefits that come with this account.
