MAX ChekCard®
Let the MAX ChekCard®
Do the Writing for You.
If you're tired of writing checks and showing I.D.'s, let the MAX ChekCard® do the work for you. It works like a check, but with one big difference: It's accepted anywhere VISA® is accepted, but it's not a credit card - it's a plastic check! Purchases are deducted from your MAX Checking Account the same way they are when you write a check. The best advantage is: There is no extra charge! The MAX ChekCard® has no monthly fee or annual fee, and it doubles as an ATM card. Just download an application, stop by one of our conveniently located branches, or call (334) 260-2600 locally (1-800-776-6776 if you are outside of the tri-county area) and apply for your MAX ChekCard® today!

*If your ChekCard® is about to expire, expect your new card to be delivered within the first two weeks of the month that the card expires.
