Want the flexibility to go over your balance if you need to? Latitude checking lets you opt-in to overdraft protection services to pull money from your Savings account, Money Market account, or credit line loan to cover the difference.

Our overdraft protection is one low fee at the end of the day—rather than a separate charge for each transaction.

  • No monthly maintenance fee with recuring direct deposit2.
  • No minimum balance requirement.
  • No transaction limit.
  • No non-sufficient fund fee.
  • No fee to transfer money between your Alaska USA accounts, stop a payment, or get a copy of one of your checks.

Easy Access and Top Security

Your Visa Debit Card is linked to your Alaska USA checking account, and gives you 24/7 access to your savings, money market, consumer loan, or credit line at an ATM. 

Your Visa Debit Card includes built-in security features

  • Visa's Zero Liability Policy protects you from unauthorized charges if your card is stolen.  
  • Easily turn on or off your debit card with the Alaska USA app.

Visit Branches and ATMs Across the Globe

As part of the CO-OP Shared Branch Network® you can visit a branch to access your accounts at thousands of locations across the U.S.

Overdraft Protection

Bouncing a check can be awkward and expensive. Avoid the hassle by setting up overdraft protection for your Latitude checking account from your savings account, money market account, credit line, or home equity line of credit. 

If you need to use your overdraft protection, there is one low fee charged based on your balance at the end of the day—rather than for each individual transaction.
