Checking Accounts
Bank Smarter
Even though we might not write too many actual checks these days, checking accounts serve as the basis of most personal banking activities. At Wallkill Valley Federal Savings and Loan, we have designed our checking accounts to provide all the flexibility, features and options you need today.
We have consumer (personal) checking account options to meet your needs, no matter how you bank. From free, basic checking to our interest-bearing checking account options, each of our account types provide you with the maximum convenience and value. We also have specialized accounts for students and customers who are 50 years of age and above. Our Hometown Hero account option, designed for active and retired military members and first responders, allows us to express our gratitude for your service and sacrifice.
With so many options to choose from, you might have a hard time picking the one that is right for you. That’s why our friendly and knowledgeable personal bankers are here to help. We show you all our options and help you compare features and benefits, so you can make the most informed choice possible.
