Help & Support

A checking account is an everyday deposit account designed for frequent, day-to-day transactions. Unlike a savings account, which is meant for holding money long-term, a checking account allows you to easily access your funds at any time. You can deposit money via direct deposit, ATMs, or mobile check capture, and you can spend or withdraw that money using a debit card, paper checks, electronic transfers, or ATM withdrawals.

Yes, you can easily open a Bank CMG checking account online in just a few minutes! Simply navigate to our checking accounts page, choose the account that fits your needs, and click "Apply Now." You can also open an account in person by visiting your nearest Bank CMG branch. To apply, you will need a valid government-issued ID (like a driver's license or passport), your Social Security Number (or ITIN), and a mailing address.

FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insurance protects your money in the unlikely event of a bank failure. Because Bank CMG is an FDIC-insured institution, your deposits are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Your funds are insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per account ownership category, meaning your money is safe and secure with us.

To open a standard checking account on your own, you must be at least 18 years old. However, we also offer specialized teen or student accounts for minors (typically ages 13-17). These accounts can be opened as long as a parent or legal guardian is listed as a joint co-owner on the account.

Ordering checks is quick and easy. You can do so through any of the following methods:

• Online/Mobile Banking: Log in to your Bank CMG account via our website or mobile app, navigate to "Account Services," and select "Order Checks."

• By Phone: Call our customer support hotline to verify your identity and place an order over the phone.

• In Person: Visit any Bank CMG branch, and a representative will be happy to place the order for you.
