What Fairwinds checking includes

Fairwinds Credit Union checking is the hub for spend. Eligible direct deposits — pay, tax refunds, pensions — can arrive up to two days early.

Pair it with Fairwinds savings and automatic transfers. Round-up programs can push spare change toward savings or a loan.
