Is your checking account doing its job?

Many people open a checking account in their teens and never think about it again. Here’s why that may be a mistake.

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home — your finances need an annual refresh, too.

Whether you’re new to Winston-Salem, starting fresh, or simply wondering if your bank is still the right fit, this is the time of year to take a closer look at your options.

Why? Because a great checking account should work for you, not the other way around.

Look for services that fit your financial goals, real people answering the phone when you call (we swear those still exist), and a bank that actively reinvests in our community.

📍 Start local

Piedmont Federal Bank has been a fixture of Winston-Salem for over 120 years.

Plus, as the area’s only mutual bank, it’s owned by its depositors — not shareholders — so its priority is people, not profits.

Check out their checking solutions and see if it’s time for a change.
