Have a Question?

Can I have more than one TruWest Checking Account?

Each member may only have one Rewards Checking Account (High Yield or Cash Back). Any additional checking accounts will default to our Simply Checking Account.

Rewards are added every third business day for the month for the previous month’s earnings or debit card purchases, depending on whether you have High Yield or Cash Back Checking.

Make sure all the requirements were met to earn the Reward2:

  • $500 in qualifying direct deposits into your Rewards Checking Account
  • 15 or more qualifying TruWest rewards debit or credit card transactions

If all the requirements were met and you still haven’t seen the Reward added to your account, please contact us at 1 (855) 878-9378.
