About Waypoint

Waypoint started as a single branch and a simple idea: a bank should be easy to understand and easy to reach. Fifteen years later, that's still the whole plan.

Our story

We opened our doors in 2010 as a member-owned institution, chartered to serve people the larger banks had stopped calling back. We've grown, but we've kept the branch-level decision-making that got us here.

How we operate

Deposits stay local. Loan decisions are made by people who can explain them. We publish our rates and fees in plain language, and we'd rather lose a sale than bury a condition in fine print.

Community

A share of Waypoint's annual earnings goes back into local grants and financial-literacy programs in the neighborhoods we serve.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask us most, answered plainly.

How do I open an account?

Start online in about ten minutes — you'll need a government ID, your Social Security number, and an opening deposit. You can also open an account in person at any branch.

Are there monthly fees?

Everyday Checking and Foundation Savings have no monthly maintenance fee and no minimum balance requirement.

How do I deposit a check from my phone?

Log in to online banking, choose an account, and use mobile deposit to photograph the front and back of an endorsed check. Funds are typically available within one business day.

What do I do if my card is lost or stolen?

Freeze it immediately from the Cards page in online banking, then contact us to order a replacement. Freezing blocks new purchases right away.

How is my money protected?

Deposits are insured up to the standard federal limit, and your online banking session is encrypted end to end. See our Security page for more detail.

Can I transfer money between my accounts instantly?

Yes — transfers between your own Waypoint accounts post immediately, any time of day.

How do I close an account?

Contact a banker by phone or visit a branch. We ask that the balance be zeroed out or transferred first.

Who do I contact for help?

Reach our member support team by phone during business hours, or send a secure message from inside online banking.
