Welcome ...
to the Checking Navigator! This online program will provide you with some general information to help you better understand how checking accounts work, how to better manage a checking account and how to avoid overdraft fees.
Along the way, we'll also include some slides with specific information on some of the services
Employee Resources Credit Union
provides to help.
Let's get started.
About the Course:
The Checking Navigator has two main units.
The first section -- Money Terms -- helps you
understand the basic terms most financial institutions use or that you might see on a checking account statement.
It will help you talk the talk.
Knowing just a few of these terms could
help mean the difference between keeping an account balanced or experiencing an overdraft.
About the Course:
The second section -- Managing Your Checking
Account -- gives you some general tips and information about managing a checking account and especially about how to avoid overdraft fees. It will help you walk the walk.
What you learn in this section, combined with the information we include about some of the specific products and services offered by
Employee Resources Credit Union
to address these issues, can help you manage your checking account more easily and more accurately.
See how you're doing:
You'll have a chance to check your
knowledge with questions and answers
throughout the course. They
aren't trick questions and you won't be
graded. They're here to help you focus
on the information that's important to
successfully managing a checking account.
When you complete the Checking
Navigator,
Employee Resources Credit Union
will have access to the information you
entered at the beginning so we know
that you have successfully completed
the course. You will also be able to
print a certificate for your own records.
See how we can help:
Throughout the course, we've included some slides that provide information about how the specific products and
services offered by
Employee Resources Credit Union
can help you meet your financial goals. We'll show you how we can help you manage your checking account and avoid overdraft fees with services
such as online banking, automated phone banking, bill pay, automatic transfers, and overdraft lines of credit.
We'll go over these later in more detail. But for now let's begin.
It should take you approximately 45 minutes to cover all the information in both sections.
Don't worry if you can't finish it
all at once. Come back at any time.
