Get Banked in Cleveland!

We strive to connect residents to checking accounts that work for them. All the accounts you’ll find here are certified by the Bank On National Account Standards–meaning they’re safe, affordable, and functional (no overdraft fees, no minimum balance fees, fraud protection, and more). Click here to learn more about the standards that make a certified account stand out.

Bank On CLE is led by the City of Cleveland and Enterprise Community Partners, working to reduce the number of residents in our community without a bank or credit union account. Learn more about us here.

How do I get an account?

1. Visit the account pages below to learn more about the best account for you.

This account may have the extra features you need, it may be a bank or credit union you’re familiar with, or a branch may be close to your home. Remember, all the accounts listed here are certified safe, affordable, and functional.

2. After choosing an account, continue with the online sign-up process, or visit the branch closest to you.

Most people should be able to create an account entirely online, from the comfort of wherever you are. However, if you run into any issues, or would rather go in person, don’t worry–you can always visit a branch to get help opening your account!

If you do go in person, make sure you mention the specific Bank On Certified Account that you saw here!
