Perhaps you’ve had difficulty managing your checking account in the past – overdrafts, insufficient funds or other adverse actions. NorthEast Community Bank recognizes that these events may have been caused by unforeseen circumstances. Depending upon the severity of the difficulties, we offer those who may not be eligible to open a regular account an opportunity to open a Fresh Start Checking account.
After 12 consecutive months of your account being in good standing, you may choose to convert to one of NECB’s regular checking accounts.
* Account alternative for those who do not qualify for other account offerings due to prior banking history. Please contact a bank representative for more information about NECB’s account opening eligibility requirements.
