Whatever your checking needs and preferences may be, M&T Bank has the right account for you. We offer a range of checking options that fit your resources and lifestyle.

M&T Select Checking - Banking Beyond Your Expectations.
M&T Select Checking is our premier relationship banking program - one that gives you superior value, service and banking convenience. Along with a Personal Relationship Manager to help with all your financial needs (including expediting account openings, financial advice and keeping you informed of special offers), M&T Select Checking offers unlimited check writing and both interest and non-interest bearing account options.

M&T Direct Checking - Bank At Your Convenience.
With M&T Direct Checking, you can take care of your banking when and where it's most convenient for you - at home, at work, at school, just about anywhere - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. M&T Direct Checking gives you so many ways to access your account: M&T Bank ATMs, M&T Web Banking, M&T Telephone Banking Center, M&T Check Card, and Direct Deposit.

M&T Classic Checking With Interest – Perfect for customers age 50 and over.
M&T Classic Checking With Interest is designed only for those who are 50 years or older and are looking to avoid monthly fees and minimum balances. With this free interest-bearing account your money works harder for you. Plus, M&T Classic Checking offers 50% off your check orders and overdraft protection may be available.

M&T Totally Free Checking - Never Maintain a Minimum Balance.
M&T Totally Free Checking is perfect for people who want to eliminate monthly maintenance fees or those who make frequent transactions. All you need is a minimum of $25 to open your account, and then you can take advantage of M&T's accessibility through ATMs, telephone banking, web banking, and direct deposit services. Plus, once you open the account, you'll never have to maintain a minimum balance. M&T Totally Free Checking lets you handle your banking when and where it's most convenient. You can even make teller-assisted transactions, including an in-branch or bank-by-mail transaction. And again, the name says it all.

Basic Banking - Banking Without The Frills.
Basic Banking is the perfect choice if you write a small number of checks each month and keep a small amount on deposit in your checking account.
