Manage Your Money with Our Checking Accounts

Some may call them old-fashioned, but we still believe a checking account is a great way to handle your money and keep track of your finances. Also called Regular Demand Deposit Accounts or REGDDA accounts for short, our checking accounts can have the amenities of digital banking along with the ease and convenience of checks so you can pay, your way.

Regular DDA checking accounts require a minimum $25.00 deposit to open this account.  These accounts have a tiered account fee structure, so if your lowest daily balance* for a month is greater than $450.00, your account does not incur an Account Fee. The tier listing is shown below:

Balance At Least Balance Less Than Fee
$0.00 $150.00 $5.00
$150.00 $250.00 $4.50
$250.00 $350.00 $3.50
$350.00 $450.00 $2.50
$450.00 $0.00

*The fees disclosed above will be charged only once during a statement cycle and apply only to the lowest daily balance in your account in a statement cycle. Additional fees may apply.

Your Finances, Enhanced

Your Regular DDA checking account with Commercial Bank may also be eligible for one of a few different classifications. We offer The Club Checking Accounts, as well as Student Checking and Senior Citizen Checking, each with their own terms and enhancements.

The Club at Commercial Bank

It’s no secret, The Club Checking accounts at Commercial Bank offer some great additional perks for one monthly service charge. If you sign up, Club members receive 2 free orders of club checks per year for in wallet, duplicate and top-stub check styles.

Student Checking

We know school can be a full time job, so our Student Checking Account receives no service charge. Full time students can sign up for and receive all the regular benefits of a checking account, just with no account fee. In order to be eligible for this account type, you must provide evidence of enrollment as a Full-Time Student. If under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be on the account with the student. After a student’s 18th birthday, the student may choose to come in and change their signature card, removing the parent/guardian.

Senior Citizen Checking

Our Senior Citizen Checking accounts are for those customers who are wise beyond their years, but also have the years to back it up. You must be 62 years of age or over. There is no monthly service charge for customers with Senior Citizen Checking. This account type can also be in combination with The Club at Commercial Bank, and if you have at least one direct deposit per month, this account will have 50% percent off the account fee with The Club Checking Accounts.
