When choosing a checking account, most people look for the basics: a debit card, online banking, and easy access to their money.
But what if your checking account could do more?
At Auburn University Credit Union, Tiger Rewards Checking is designed to provide members with everyday banking convenience while delivering valuable benefits that help protect your finances, support your well-being, and reward you for being a member.
Let's take a look at some of the ways Tiger Rewards Checking goes beyond traditional checking.
Convenient Healthcare Access for Your Family
One of the most unique benefits of Tiger Rewards Checking is access to telehealth services. This service offers a $0 copay and no insurance needed!
Life is busy, and finding time to visit a doctor's office isn't always easy. Telehealth services give you convenient access to healthcare professionals when you need them, helping you address common health concerns from the comfort of your home.
This benefit extends beyond the primary account holder and includes a spouse or domestic partner as well as up to six dependent children age 2 and older.
Whether it's a late-night question, a minor illness, or simply avoiding an unnecessary trip to a clinic, telehealth services can provide added convenience and peace of mind for your family.
Help Protect Yourself from Identity Theft
Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest-growing financial crimes, making proactive protection more important than ever.
Tiger Rewards Checking includes identity protection tools designed to help safeguard your personal information, including:
- Identity monitoring
- Identity theft resolution services
- Identity theft expense reimbursement coverage
- CyberRecover™ support
If suspicious activity occurs, you'll have access to resources and specialists who can help guide you through the recovery process.
Having these protections built into your checking account can help you feel more confident about managing your finances in today's digital world.
Stay Informed About Your Credit
Your credit score can affect everything from loan approvals to interest rates, yet many people only check it when applying for credit.
Tiger Rewards Checking helps members stay proactive by providing:
- Daily credit file monitoring
- Credit score access
- Credit score tracking
- Credit alerts
These tools make it easier to understand changes in your credit profile and identify potential issues before they become larger problems.
When you're working toward financial goals like purchasing a vehicle or buying a home, having visibility into your credit health can be incredibly valuable.
Access Tools That Support Financial Wellness
Building strong financial habits takes time, knowledge, and the right resources.
Tiger Rewards Checking includes access to Financial Wellness 360, a platform designed to help members improve their financial confidence through educational tools and resources.
Whether you're creating a budget, building an emergency fund, paying down debt, or planning for future goals, these resources can help you make informed financial decisions every step of the way.
Save on Your Next Auto Loan
Thinking about purchasing a vehicle?
Tiger Rewards Checking members receive a 0.25% APR discount on new auto loans through Auburn University Credit Union.
While it may seem like a small difference, even a modest rate reduction can lead to meaningful savings over the life of a loan.
It's another example of how your checking account can provide value beyond everyday banking.
Enjoy a Little Extra Flexibility
Unexpected expenses happen to everyone from time to time.
Tiger Rewards Checking includes one NSF fee waiver per calendar year, giving members a little extra grace when life doesn't go exactly as planned.
While no one wants to incur fees, having this benefit available can help reduce the impact of an occasional oversight or unexpected financial situation.
All the Everyday Banking Features You Need
Of course, Tiger Rewards Checking still includes the convenient banking tools members expect, including:
- Mastercard® Debit Card
- Online Banking
- Mobile Banking through the myAUCU App
- Bill Pay Services
These features make it easy to manage your finances whether you're at home, at work, or on the go.
