COLUMBUS, Ohio–Members of CME FCU here who have an “ez Money” checking account are receiving a bonus.
The credit union said it is paying out $58,307 to the nearly 4,000 members who have an ez Money checking account, which comes to about $14.83 per account.
Account-holders who use their debit card for signature-based transactions are able to get seven cents for every swipe of their debit card. For a limited time, CME FCU said it is also doubling members’ cash back through Dec. 31, meaning members will earn 14 cents each time they swipe their debit card.
