Savings
Service 1 Federal Credit Union offers various types of savings and investment accounts. From our regular Share Savings account to the Christmas Clubs to Share Certificates, Service 1 Federal Credit Union can help you plan for your future.
Our members may choose the type of savings accounts they need from the following popular plans which earn high interest/dividends:
Regular Shares
For most members this account serves as the primary savings account. In addition to being an excellent vehicle for saving, it can also be used for transfers to other accounts, overdraft protection for your checking, and to secure "share loans", etc.
Checking
If you're tired of service fees and minimum balance requirements check out Service 1 Federal Credit Union's no fee checking account. No matter how many checks you write per month or how low your balance is, your monthly fee remains the same: $0.00
- No minimum balance requirements
- No monthly service charge
- No per check fees
- Pay bills online for FREE with It’s Me 247 Online Bill Pay
- Overdraft protection available to qualifying individuals
- Debit MasterCard
Debit Card
Now you can have access to your Share Draft Checking Account worldwide with your Debit MasterCard from Service 1 Federal Credit Union.
What is a Debit MasterCard?
Think of your Debit MasterCard as a plastic check. Like an ATM card, the Debit MasterCard is linked to your checking account, which means you can use it at ATMs around the world. Since the Debit card is linked to the MasterCard network, you can use it just like a credit card to make purchases, but instead of charging, your purchase is deducted automatically from your checking account, so there are no finance charges.
Is it easy to use?
With the Debit MasterCard, you don't have to carry large amounts of cash or a bulky checkbook. You can use it to make purchases at any retail location that accepts MasterCard or withdraw cash at any ATM displaying the MasterCard Logo.
How do I keep track of my transactions?
Each transaction you make with your debit card will appear on your checking account statement. Please list all transactions in your checking account register as this will help you to keep your account in balance.
What happens if my card is lost or stolen?
Notify the credit union immediately during regular business hours at (231) 739-5068 or after business hours and on the weekend at (800) 754-4128.
