Najem Financial checking accounts are designed to be accessible to everyone. Our personal and student accounts carry no minimum balance requirement. Some business account tiers and premium service packages may have balance thresholds in exchange for enhanced benefits such as fee waivers and higher transaction limits. Full details are available on each product page or by speaking with a member of our team.
When you enrol in overdraft protection, we link your checking account to another eligible Najem Financial account — such as a savings account — as a backup funding source. If a transaction would cause your balance to go negative, funds are automatically transferred from the linked account to cover it. This prevents declined transactions and returned payment fees. You can manage or disable this feature at any time from your account settings.
Switching is straightforward. Open your new Najem Financial account online in just a few minutes. Once approved, update your direct deposit with your employer using your new account and routing numbers. We recommend keeping your old account open for at least 30 days to ensure any pending transactions clear. Our Switch Kit, available in-app, walks you through updating recurring payments and bill payees step by step so nothing gets missed.
Yes. Joint checking accounts are available on all personal account tiers and can be set up either at the time of application or added to an existing account later. Both account holders share equal access and ownership rights. Each co-owner has their own secure login, can initiate transactions independently, and will receive shared transaction notifications. To add a joint owner to an existing account, simply visit the account settings page in your online banking portal.
The Najem Financial student checking account is open to anyone currently enrolled in an accredited educational institution, as well as young adults within a defined age range who are establishing their finances for the first time. Applicants will need to provide proof of enrollment or age verification. The account automatically transitions to a standard personal checking account upon request or once eligibility criteria are no longer met.
Mobile deposit lets you deposit cheques by taking a photo with your smartphone camera through the Najem Financial app. Funds are typically available within one to two business days, with a portion often available sooner for eligible accounts. Daily and monthly deposit limits apply and vary by account tier — these can be reviewed in the app under Account Settings > Mobile Deposit. Limits may be increased over time as you build a positive account history with us.
