Switch your checking to Alliant in 3 simple steps
Meet two simple requirements each month to qualify for a rate that surpasses most banks’ savings accounts.
Opt in to receive free eStatements rather than paper statements.
Have at least one monthly electronic deposit to your Alliant High-Rate Checking account. Direct deposits, payroll deposits, ATM deposits, mobile deposits and transfers from another financial institution all count.
Once you've opted into eStatements, if there's a month when you don't make an electronic deposit, you still won't have to pay a paper statement fee, you just won't qualify for high-interest checking.
