Membership Eligibility
Can I become a Maps member?

You are eligible for Maps membership if:
- You live or work in one of the counties listed below.

That’s it—there’s no catch. We also welcome businesses, non-profits, and organizations in those counties. We are happy to provide a full range of financial services from personal and business banking to lending and investments to anyone in the areas we serve.

Every Penny Counts
When you open a Free Community Checking account, you become a part of our giveback plan. Every time you swipe your debit card, Maps will donate a penny from that transaction back into the community—at no cost to you. With this simple and highly impactful penny-per-swipe model, our members play a key role in our community-giving efforts and have a direct impact on their communities.
And those pennies add up! Since its inception in 2012, the Maps’ Free Community Checking program has accounted for over $1 million in funds that went directly back into the community. It’s also a driving force behind the Maps Community Foundation which aims to enrich the lives of members and our community by investing in education, economic empowerment, and community vibrancy.
