First Horizon TotalView Checking Account

To open a First Horizon TotalView Checking, you'll need to provide you:

• Valid ID, such as a driver's license,
• Social Security Number and date of birth,
• Contact information (address, phone number, email),
• Payment information for the opening deposit.

At the time of opening a First Horizon TotalView Checking, you'll need to make a $50 opening deposit. You can transfer funds from:

• an existing First Horizon deposit account, using your First Horizon bank account number,
• an external bank account, using your account and routing numbers from that account,
• a debit or credit card account, using your card number, expiration date, CVV number, and billing address.

As a First Horizon TotalView Checking customer, you'll earn a variable, tiered interest on your balance. "Variable" simply means that it can change at any time, while "tiered" means the rate might be different at different balance levels. Usually, the more money you keep in your balance, the better interest rates you'll get.

Once you've enabled the function, you'll be able to check your balance and up to 10 most recent transactions by simply clicking the Quick Glance option at the bottom right of the login screen.

First Horizon has several overdraft protection plans that you might be interested in if you want to avoid being charged hefty overdraft fees. 

For example, there's The Savings Account Link, great if you have or would like to open a savings account with First Horizon. This way, you can link it to your TotalView Checking, and, in case you ever overdraw your account, the funds will be automatically transferred from your savings to your checking account to cover the transaction. Yet, you'd still be charged a $15 fee per transfer.

Your second option is The Credit Card Link, which works the same way, but here, you need to keep in mind that, each time you don't have enough money in your checking account, and a transfer is made from your credit card to your checking, it will be treated as a cash advance, so, in addition to the $15 transfer fee, you'd also be charged cash advance fees.

Finally, there's The HELOC Link for those who have a First Horizon Bank Home Equity Line of Credit.

However, to avoid overdraft fees altogether, the best way to go is to ensure you always have money in your TotalView Checking balance, and don't spend what you don't have.

If you don't authorize First Horizon to pay overdrafts, your ATM and everyday debit card transactions may be declined in case you don't have enough money in your TotalView Checking.

However, when it comes to checks, ACH debits, and other transactions made using your checking account number, including automatic/recurring bill payments, First Horizon will pay overdrafts without authorization required on your end. If you don't want them to pay overdrafts, you must let them know. Keep in mind that, in this case, declined transactions due to insufficient funds might trigger NSF fees.
