CIT’s eChecking launch follows the launch of its Savings Builder product. That is a savings option that rewards regular savers who put by $100 a month or maintain a $25,000 balance.
The account connects to Savings Builder and other CIT savings products, providing useful linkage for those with multiple accounts.
CIT’s direct bank is part of CIT Group, ranked among the largest 50 US Banks by assets. The group also includes 60-branch strong OneWest Bank, centred on Southern California and acquired in 2015.
