Kasasa Cash Checking

Free checking AND higher dividends? That's a win-win.


There's no need to choose. Take them both! Kasasa Cash® from Central Virginia Federal Credit Union is the free checking account that rewards you for doing a few simple things you probably already do, like using direct deposit, your free Visa® debit card and eStatements.

  • Earn 5.00% APY* on balances up to and including $25,000
  • Earn 5.00% to 1.40% APY on balances over $25,000, depending on your balance*
  • Earn 0.05% APY* on all balances if qualifications aren't met (see below)
  • Receive refunds on ATM withdrawal fees, nationwide (up to $25 monthly)*
  • Link this account to Kasasa Saver® and build your savings with automatic transfers

We make it easy to open this account and even easier to use. You decide how much interest you want to earn based on your balance, and you always have access to digital banking tools to manage money anytime.

  • No minimum deposit to open and no minimum balance to earn rewards
  • No monthly maintenance fee
  • Free use of online banking with bill pay, our mobile app and eStatements

It's easy to earn dividends at our highest interest rate


All you need to do is make sure these transactions and activities occur during each monthly qualification cycle:

  • Post at least 1 direct deposit or ACH payment transaction
  • Make at least 15 debit card purchases
  • Enroll in and agree to receive eStatements

What if you don't meet these qualifications in a given month? Your account is still free and you still earn interest at our base rate. And then you have another opportunity to meet the qualifications the following month.

Reward Information:

When your Kasasa Cash account qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, average daily balances up to and including $25,000.00 in your Kasasa Cash account earn a dividend rate of 4.889% resulting in an APY of 5.00%; and average daily balances over $25,000.00 earn a dividend rate of 0.50% on the portion of the average daily balance over $25,000.00, resulting in a range from 1.40% to 5.00% APY depending on the account's average daily balance.

You will receive reimbursements up to an aggregate total of $25.00 for nationwide ATM withdrawal fees incurred within your Kasasa Cash account during that Monthly Qualification Cycle. We reimburse ATM withdrawal fees based on estimates when the withdrawal information we receive does not identify the ATM withdrawal fee. If you have not received an appropriate reimbursement, we will adjust the reimbursement amount if we receive the transaction receipt within sixty (60) calendar days of the withdrawal transaction.

NOTE: ATM fee reimbursements only apply to Kasasa Cash, Kasasa Cash Back, or Kasasa Tunes transactions via ATM; Kasasa Saver ATM transaction fees are not reimbursed nor refunded.

When your Kasasa Cash qualifications are not met, the dividend rate earned on the account's entire average daily balance will be 0.50% resulting in an annual percentage yield of 0.50% and ATM withdrawal fees are not refunded.

Dividends will be credited to your Kasasa Cash account on the last day of the current statement cycle.

Nationwide ATM withdrawal fee reimbursements will be credited to your account on the last day of the current statement cycle.

APY = Annual Percentage Yield.

APYs accurate as of 12/12/2023

APY calculations are based on an assumed maximum balance of $25,000.00 + $100,000.00 in your Kasasa Cash account and an assumed statement cycle of thirty-one (31) days.

Rates, rewards, and bonuses, if any, are variable and may change after account is opened; rates may change without notice to you. No minimum balance is required to earn or receive the account's rewards. Rewards less than a penny cannot be distributed. Fees may reduce earnings.
