Select Rewards Checking FAQs



Within 5 days of opening the Select Rewards Checking Account, the primary account holder will receive an email from support@clubchecking.com, either confirming the activation of the credit file monitoring service or providing instructions on activating credit file monitoring. Just click on the link in the email to go online to complete registration and access all the benefits and features. Credit file monitoring is still activated even if the primary account number does not act on the email, prompting them to review all benefits online.

If the primary account holder fails to authenticate, they must follow instructions on the next steps to activate credit file monitoring, complete registration, and access all the benefits and features.


Once registered, easily access your benefits online at AcademyBank.ClubChecking.com or with the Club Checking mobile app.
