Fifth Third Bank

No monthly service charge on Momentum Checking, or $5 off Preferred Checking, for military families

Fifth Third's Military Checking program (open to active duty, retired, reserve/guard, and veterans, plus commissioned officers of the Public Health Service and NOAA) waives the monthly service charge entirely when paired with a Fifth Third Momentum Checking account, or knocks $5 off the monthly service charge on a Fifth Third Preferred Checking account with $500+ in monthly direct deposits. Also includes special VA Home Loan rates and 10 free non-Fifth Third ATM transactions per month.
