A Qualified Direct Deposit is a regular periodic payment, such as a salary, pension, government payment (for example, Social Security) or other monthly income that occurs as an automated clearinghouse (ACH) credit or in the real-time payment network from your employer or from an outside entity that is not affiliated with Campus Federal Credit Union. Wire transfers, ACH credits and funds transfers initiated using the Campus Federal Credit Union website or mobile app are not considered a qualifying direct deposit.

Avoidance of fees
Monthly fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early account termination fee
I was not able to find a fee schedule so uncertain if there is any EATF.
