Frequently Asked Questions
We've got the answers.
Is my online checking account FDIC insured?
Yes, IncredibleBank has FDIC deposit insurance on all deposit accounts covering depositors dollar-for-dollar, principal plus any interest accrued or due to the depositor, through the date of default, up to at least $250,000.
For example, if a person had a checking account with a principal balance of $150,000 and $50 in accrued interest, the full $150,050 would be insured, since principal plus interest did not exceed the $250,000 insurance limit for each account. FDIC insurance may vary based on your situation.
It's best to use the FDIC insurance calculator to determine your exact coverage.
How long does it take to open a checking account online?
If you’re opening an IncredibleBank checking account online and you’ve gathered all your documentation beforehand, you'll likely be able to complete the application in 5 minutes (or less). We will then reach out to you within 1-2 business days on the status of your application and account information. If your account is approved, we will issue your account number, and you will receive your IncredibleBank debit card within 7-10 business days.
What forms of identification will I need to open an account?
You will need to provide at least one form of government-issued photo ID to open your checking account. Examples include: driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID. We will also ask you to provide personal identification information like your date of birth, physical address, phone number and social security number. If the address on your application does not match your ID, then you may also be asked to provide a piece of mail with your name on it for proof of address.

How do I deposit cash to an online deposit account?
We recommend three different ways to deposit cash into your online bank account:
- Make a deposit at a cash-accepting ATM. There are thousands of cash-accepting ATMs throughout the US. Simply insert your debit card into the machine, select deposit cash, and insert your bills into the machine. These funds will immediately be available in your account.
- Get a money order. Money orders are like "official checks" that you pay for in advance, possibly with cash. You can purchase a money order from just about any financial institution, post office, or large department stores like Walmart. There will be a small fee associated with money orders, usually less than $5. To deposit your cash to IncredibleBank, you can purchase a money order with your cash, make the money order out to yourself, and deposit your money order using our mobile deposit feature.
- Use another checking account. If you still have a checking account at your local bank, you can deposit the cash at your local bank, then transfer the funds from your local bank account to your IncredibleBank checking account.
Where are your ATMs located?
IncredibleBank is a participant in the MoneyPass® ATM Network, meaning that are customer have access to 30,000+ fee free ATMs nationwide. To find an ATM near you, you can use your IncredibleBank app or visit the MoneyPass® ATM website.
Do you allow minors to open a checking account online?
Yes, we do allow minors to open a checking account online. To open an account on your own, you need to be at least 18 years old. However, with a parent or guardian as a co-signer, you can open a checking account starting at age 13.
Can I apply for more than one account?
Yes, you can apply for as many accounts as your heart desires.
How do I use my debit card with my checking account?
To use your debit card with your checking account, you must first activate the debit card. When you receive your debit card in the mail, call the number listed on the card (Within US: (800) 290-7893, Outside US: (206) 624-7998), identify yourself, set your PIN number, and you're all set! You can then use your debit card to withdraw cash from your checking account at ATMs, make in-store purchases at most retailers, or use your card information to pay for items online.
How do I transfer money from another bank to my checking account?
To transfer money from another bank account to your IncredibleBank checking account, simply use the transfer feature in your IncredibleBank online banking or mobile app. Go to the menu, select transfer, select add an external transfer account, enter the external account information, and specify the dollar amount you would like to transfer. More information and detailed instructions can be found on our mobile banking page.
