Hiway has made a commitment to assist our members in getting on the right track, or getting back on track — whichever the case may be. Our Builder accounts are designed for members who do not currently qualify for some of Hiway's other products or services.
Our Checking Builder account gives you access to funds anytime either in person, by using checks, debit card, or through the automated teller machine. This account is for members with a credit score of less than 600 and no derogatory items, who wish to establish checking and work towards improving credit so they qualify for more in the future.
