Just wanted to let you guys know that I was on DFCU Financials website and they now have deluxe checks as there new check provider. I was thinking about an account with them but now am skeptical. I am afraid to order checks at all.

Many non-chexsystems banks and credit unions use Deluxe checks. DFCU however is a chexsystems credit union. They have always used chexsystems. They will however approve anyone for a savings if they are eligible for membership. The savings comes with an ATM card as well.

If you apply for a checking with them, a chexsystems report will more than likly cause you to be denied. Some people have been able to open a checking once they have had a savings there for a considerable amount of time. Others were still denied.

You do mean Digital Federal Credit Union correct?

I don't know if it is that I went to dfcufinancial.com. I have an open checking account but wanted a back up just in case.

Oh no that is a different one. I am not sure what they use, yes I would guess they use chexsystems but let me check it out and get back to you on that one.

This might be good one if I am guessing correctly on where you live exactly.

-they do not use chexsystems
It is the credit union's policy for you to actually be in a branch to open an account. We run all members through Telecheck if they want a checking account, so that is one of the reasons why we don't have the membership application for the checking online.
I am not sure where you are located. Would you be able to actually come to a branch in the near future?
