No matter what age, life stage, or budget, we have a chequing account to meet your needs. We believe that your day-to-day banking should be simple and affordable, and our branch staff can help you find the account that’s right for you.
Total Service Chequing Package
A recurring direct deposit into your package account qualifies you for Free Banking with the Unfee!
If you use your chequing account for most of your daily transactions, consider a Total Service Package. Choose one of our three different chequing packages, and know exactly what you’ll pay in service fees every month, helping you to stick to your budget. Simply select your package based on your normal account activity, and pay a fixed monthly price, as long as you stay within your allowable limits. Each package comes with a combination of free transactions depending on the package level you choose. Our branch staff would be happy to help you find the package that’s right for you, and can change your package at the beginning of any month if your normal banking activity changes – you are never locked in for a certain period of time.
What’s best is that your monthly package fee will be refunded to you every month through the Unfee is you have a recurring monthly direct deposit such as payroll into your Cambrian account.

Connect Chequing
If you are aged 22 or younger, you will be set up with a Connect Chequing Account (with or without a MemberCard). This great value money management account will help you learn to budget and develop responsible banking habits early on in life. The $4 monthly fee is refunded to your account every month through the Unfee.
Golden Account Package
If you are 59 years or older, you will be set up with a Cambrian Golden Account. Golden Accounts are simple, and designed to save you money. All Golden members automatically benefit from the features included with the Cambrian Golden Account, and those with a qualifying Direct Deposit will bank for free through the Unfee.

Alternatively, Golden members may instead elect to pay for a Total Service Package.
US Dollar Chequing Account
If you are interested in having an account in American funds, we can offer you a US Chequing Account. This account is suitable if you often travel to the United States and want to save up money, if you do business in the U.S. and need to write cheques in American currency, or if you’re just looking for an account to hold American funds for whatever reason.
Open your US chequing account at any Cambrian branch. You can transfer to it using Cambrian Online, or deposit directly to it at the branch. Withdrawals can be made from it in US cash at the branch, or US dollar cheques can be ordered at a reasonable cost.
What’s more is that you’ll earn interest on balances of $501 or more, and service fees for cheques and withdrawals are waived if the minimum monthly balance is greater than $1,000.
