Electronic Transfer Accounts

Electronic Transfer Accounts (ETAs) are a smart choice for federal payment recipients to get their money. For Social Security, SSI, Railroad Retirement Board Payments, OPM Retirement, VA benefits, DOL/Black Lung, and civilian or military salary or wages, an ETA – along with direct deposit – is a safe, fast, and confidential way to receive those payments automatically. 

Designed for those clients who may not have had a previous banking relationship, a First Midwest ETA:

• Offers a market rate;
• Is federally insured; and
• Can be maximized with a First Midwest Debit Card and Online Banking.

And, you'll get 100 Tuition Rewards points plus 5% annually of your year-to-date average account balance.
