Starting Over Checking

Helping You Get a Fresh Start


Sometimes life hands you challenges. We believe your past difficulties should not prevent you from having a sound financial future. BMI Federal Credit Union in Central Ohio offers Starting Over Checking, a second chance checking account that allows you to regain control of your financial circumstances.

The checking account requires a reasonable direct deposit commitment, and participation in our Financial Education Program. This program is provided free from BMI Federal Credit Union. Successfully maintaining this account for 12 months will allow you to be eligible for transition to our Free Checking account.
