C US Bank introduced a new checking account line-up recently for both business and personal accounts.
    “Our new checking account program is a win-win for our customers. We’ve designed a program uniquely designed with our customers in mind. We have simplified our new accounts to make them more customer friendly along with taking away a large majority of account fees on our business and personal checking accounts. We want customers to bank on their terms, not ours,” said J. Scott Thomson, president of C US Bank.
    Four new personal accounts have been introduced: Totally Free Checking, 50+ Free Checking, Direct Free Interest Checking, and High Interest Checking. Three business accounts have been introduced as well: Totally Free Business Checking, Business Interest Checking and Commercial Checking.
    “We’ve done our homework. We’ve researched other checking account offerings in our markets and have designed competitive, low-cost accounts that serve our customer’s needs well.  Come in and let us show you the difference between our Totally Free Checking and other banks’ ‘free accounts.’ Our account line-up gives you a wide variety of options—with just a few easy questions we can get you into the right account,” Thomson said.
    By opening a new checking account, customers also enjoy several other benefits.
    “Open up a checking account today and you’ll also receive a free gift. We will be offering eight different gifts this year, starting with a carry-all book bag and cooler. Additionally, we’ll pay you up to $25 for your check card and unused checks from your current bank. Just bring them in when you open your new account,” Thomson said.
    Current customers can either stay in their current account or they can convert into one of the new accounts.
    “Customers simply need to stop in and fill out a conversion card. They also should have received one in the mail that can be filled out and sent in,” Thomson said.
    As part of the checking account program, the Tell-A-Friend game has been introduced. Tell-A-Friend is a referral program that rewards new and old customers alike for referring friends to C US Bank.
    “To learn how to play Tell-A-Friend, simply stop in and we will show you how,” he said
