it appears DCU has relaxed the EQ FICO requirement.. now you just need checking.. they are sending invites to sign up via the account manager. Got my invite and signed up!!
Yes it takes checking/savings or credit/savings
Thanks for the notice. Drapped a checking/savings combo just now. I'll gladly park a little cash for the EQ Fico.
please keep us updated! I read last week on their site that you need more than just the basic checking/savings. If not, that'd be great!
Starting Score: 648
according to their website it now only takes a checking acct tonget a fico score
Does DCU do a HP when you apply for an account? Wouldn't mind sacraficing one for the free EQ Fico, but I would really like to know which creditor they pull, if they do.

yes..hp for membership. if you want to app for their cc/loans the same time, its another hp based on info from the boards. data points also say they are an EQ puller.

thanks wade
being a CU, they have their list of people that is able to join. but then again, they will gladly take a $10 donation to an organization. this donation will make you eligible. you just select the donation eligibility on the app. the last step of the app is funding your selected acct. this will also itemized the donation. you either fund with debit/cc or ACH transfer.
Thanks, Travelling!
