• What is WMSE Community Power

    WMSE Community Power is the official WMSE blog dedicated to our generous community partners and all they do. Area businesses, institutions and individuals who support us in some way throughout the year.

We don’t need a free toaster!!!

Local businesses underwrite on WMSE because they know our listeners are loyal, community-minded and support the businesses that support their station. PyraMax Bank is no exception. They combined mobile banking with our passion for music when they created  meChecking, which launched this spring.

Here is what I love about it:

Some banks offer you free gifts when you sign up for a checking account with them. And more often than not, they’re things you either already have, or don’t really need. Not PyraMax. When you sign up for a meChecking account, you have the option of recieving a $100 gift card redeemable for any show or concert at Turner Hall/Pabst/Riverside, or $75 worth of iTunes downloads. Sweet! And every time you rack up $200 in charges with the meChecking debit card? Boom! More free music from iTunes. Going to see Public Image Limited at the Pabst Theater next Friday, or MGMT at The Riverside in June, and want to save some cash? Use your new debit card and you get an automatic $5 off the ticket price. Pretty sweet.

Other features include free checking, banking on your mobile device (my phone isn’t that fancy yet) and for your first four ATM transactions each month, NO FEES! Cheers to PyraMax Bank for realizing I would rather spend those extra bucks each month on something way more important (like a beverage at the next show I go to).

Keep your eyes peeled for the meChecking Street Team at various music events around the city this Spring and Summer. You can also get more info from them at the events, online here.
