Personal FAQs

The Freedom Checking account is a transaction account that allows you to move money electronically, but not by writing checks.  Paper checks cannot be written on this account and cannot be ordered at account opening. All types of electronic payments can be made on the account including debit card, bill pay, Zelle^®, and ACH or automatic debits to the account (recurring or one-time).

You can make withdrawals from your account through an ATM or an over-the-counter withdrawal at a JMB branch.  Deposits can be made through direct deposit, mobile deposit, wire transfers, ACH credit, or at a JMB branch (paper checks may be deposited).  

We require customers to enroll in and agree to e-Statements within 30 days of account opening; paper statements are not available on this account.  When the account is opened, the e-Statement delivery method is the automatic default as a part of the initial account set-up in the system and cannot be changed.  The customer will still need to access OLB and enroll in e-Statements in order to view their statements electronically.

If a check is presented for payment on this account, it will be returned unpaid, even if there is sufficient money in the account.  The item will hit the UIR daily report and be returned unpaid as “Refer to Maker.” If you decide that you would like to write checks on the account at a later time, the account must be converted to another JMB checking account of your choice.

A personal checking account with a rate of interest that applies to customers who meets at least two of the following requirements: 

1. Maintain a monthly direct deposit of at least $500.00 from a paycheck, pension, Social Security or other eligible regular monthly income.

ATM transactions, imaged checks, returned items, interest, maintenance fees and service charges do not count toward the transaction requirements.

Real-Time Payments were established by The Clearing House in 2017 to provide its members with a faster payment solution. Through Real-Time Payments, transactions are cleared and settled by the network 24/7, 365 days a year. This allows for prompt delivery and greater accessibility of funds into your account.

To receive an RTP, you must provide the person or business who will be sending the payment your routing number and account number at John Marshall Bank. The individual or business must be a member of the Clearing House network with the ability to send RTP credits. Once they input your information and send the funds, the amount will be credited to your account within seconds.

Real-Time Payments are an ideal method of receiving payments for disaster relief, freelance work, insurance claim payouts and other just in time payments to name a few.

You can view any previous RTP transaction details through your John Marshall Bank online banking account, your paper or electronic account statements, and your mobile banking app.

Real-Time Payments are instantaneous and can help you optimize your cash flow. Traditional electronic payments can take several business days before they are cleared and settled into your account. RTPs provide a platform for you to receive funds within seconds of the transaction being initiated. Even same-day ACH have restrictions on when they can be initiated and delivered. RTP also provides improved communication between the payer and payee by giving the payer the option to include additional information like remittance data with the transaction.

All Real-Time Payment transactions move directly through banking channels and are protected by bank security measures.

Presently, John Marshall Bank users can only receive payments within the RTP network. However, there will be future enhancements that’ll allow business and government entities to send payments, send requests for payments, include remittance/invoice data on payments, and more.
