College Connection

College Bound? We've Got Connections!

Before you head off to school, check out our College Connections Package. It's everything you'll need for college wrapped up into one convenient package.

No Fee Checking

We'll waive the monthly service charge as long as your checking account has a positive balance.


Personal Savings

Because college expenses can creep up on you, we'll tie a savings account to your no-fee checking account. If your checking account falls to a negative balance we'll automatically transfer funds from your savings account in $10 increments.


FREE Online Banking

With online banking, you'll never need to find extra time to visit the bank! Just log-on to bankofpontiac.com to check your account balances and transfer funds between your accounts, anytime....day or night.


FREE Online Bill Pay*

Save money on stamps by paying your bills online from the convenience of your dorm room. *Just pay at least one bill each month and it's FREE. Inactive accounts will be charged $4.95 per month. NSF and stop pay fees still apply.


Bank of Pontiac ATM Card

Need quick cash? With your Bank of Pontiac ATM Card, you'll have access to any CIRRUS® or STAR® network ATM world-wide.


MasterCard® Debit Card

No need to carry cash with the MasterCard® Debit Card. Use your card anywhere you see the MasterCard logo displayed. Your purchase amount will be automatically deducted from your checking account and will appear on your online statement. Best of all, your debit card also doubles as an ATM card.


No Fee Home Equity Loan**

Now Mom & Dad can spend less time worrying about the cost of college. A No-Fee Home Equity Line of Credit from Bank of Pontiac can help with tuition, housing, books or any other unexpected expense. Bring your parents by the bank for complete details. **Subject to credit approval. No fee to open.


FREE Mousepad

As an added bonus, we'll throw in a College Connections mousepad to use at school.
