How to Open an Account

Opening a Checking Account at Customers Bancorp is straightforward. You can apply online, visit a branch, or start the process by phone. Typical requirements include a valid form of identification, Social Security or tax ID number, and initial funding (amounts vary by account type). The process usually takes just a few minutes, and digital applicants often receive instant account access for online and mobile services while their physical debit card is mailed.

New customers benefit from guided setup: direct deposit routing, bill pay activation, and optional overdraft protection to match your comfort level. If you prefer in-person assistance, branch staff will walk you through account features and help set preferences like text alerts and spending categories.

Fees and Eligibility

Customers Bancorp aims to keep fees reasonable and transparent. Account types range from basic no-frills options to enhanced tiers that waive certain fees based on balances or activity. Monthly maintenance fees may be avoidable through direct deposit, minimum balance thresholds, or by choosing qualifying account packages. ATM fees, overdraft fees, and certain service charges are disclosed upfront so you can select the account that fits your usage patterns.

Eligibility generally requires U.S. residency, a valid ID, and compliance with regulatory checks. Students, seniors, and veterans may qualify for special offers or fee discounts—ask a representative to see if you qualify.
