All About Our Absolute Checking® Account

Everything you need to know about our Absolute Checking® account.

Checking accounts are essential to everybody’s financial well-being. They're an easy way to manage your money, pay your bills, and seamlessly make daily purchases.

Not all accounts are the same, however. Whatever you need for your financial situation, Clearview has a solution for you!

Are you looking for an account that truly stands out? Our premium checking account,  Absolute Checking®, is a great option that offers you absolutely everything you need to manage your finances plus perks you wouldn't expect.

Why do I need a premium checking account?

We built Absolute Checking® to protect the money you've worked hard to grow and to reward you along the way. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Identity theft monitoring and resolution services for you and eligible family members
  • Pay your phone bill with your Absolute Checking® account and receive up to $600 in replacement or repair costs if your phone is stolen or damaged.
  • Money-saving travel and leisure discounts from thousands of local and national retailers, health savings discounts, and access to exclusive offers and discounts at thousands of online retailers.
  • Take advantage of an interest rate discount on certain loans.
  • Contactless debit card and digital banking access

Absolute Checking® has a $6 monthly service fee, but that fee can be avoided by meeting one of the following requirements:

  • Maintain a $10,000 combined deposit balance.
  • Maintain a $20,000 combined balance of deposits and loans.
  • Receive $5,000 or more in total direct deposits each month.

For Absolute Checking® members age 25 or younger, the monthly service fee is $3, and it can also be waived in the same ways.

Here's the part we love sharing! When you add up everything Absolute Checking® brings to the table, the numbers speak for themselves. You pay just $6 a month, and in return, you unlock an estimated $52 a month in real, everyday value.

That's protection, discounts, rewards, and financial features all working together for you!

What does identity theft monitoring and resolution services entail?

This exclusive Absolute Checking® perk covers you and your joint account owners, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. Here's what's included:

  • Single bureau credit file monitoring – Includes monitoring your TransUnion credit report daily and sends you automatic alerts when something important changes, so you're never caught off guard.
  • Identity monitoring – Scanning of more than 1,000 databases and public records each month to catch suspicious activity, including credit header information, phone records, and United States Postal Service records. If your monthly scan returns a high-risk score, you'll be notified right away.
  • Credit report – You can request a single bureau credit report every six months, or whenever you open an identity theft resolution case.
  • Credit score  – Check your single bureau credit score once a month, whenever you want a quick snapshot of where you stand.
  • Credit score tracker – Track how your credit score moves over time and gain the insight you need to make confident financial decisions.
  • Up to $10,000 in identity theft expense reimbursement coverage – If your identity is compromised, this coverage helps take care of the costs involved in restoring it.
  • Fully managed identity theft resolution services – A dedicated fraud specialist handles your case from start to finish, staying by your side until your identity is fully restored.
  • Debit and credit card registration – Register your credit, debit, and ATM cards in one place. If they're ever lost or stolen, one toll-free call is all it takes to cancel and request replacements.
