STAR Community Credit Union is pleased to introduce its latest financial education tool called CheckRight. CheckRight is a web-based checking account management education module designed to teach you how to manage a checking account. 

Use CheckRight if: 

• you are looking to open a checking account for the first time or
• you have had difficulty handling an account in the past. 

Among other things, CheckRight will help you learn how to: 

• open an account
• write checks
• make deposits
• maintain a check register
• reconcile an account
• create a spending plan 

CheckRight is a self-study program that allows you to learn at your own pace.  Once you have read through the chapters, you will be directed to a quiz that will test your knowledge on checking accounts.  You will be able to view the results and you have the option to send the results to the credit union via e-mail.

CheckRight was developed by STAR's partner in financial wellness, Accel Members Financial Counseling.  If you have a question about your own personal finances, call an Accel counselor Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (EST), Friday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1-877-33ACCEL (332-2235) or visit them on the web at www.accelservices.org
