Free Checking
No monthly fees. No minimum balance. Just a simple, straightforward checking that's perfect for your everyday needs.
No Minimum Balance
We want you to focus on growing your balance at your own pace. With us, you do not need a specific minimum balance to maintain your account.
Overdraft Protection
A Kwik Kash line can help by covering charges that exceed your balance, and potentially prevent overdraft fees.
No Monthly Maintenance Fees
We are all about eliminating waste, including monthly maintenance fees on Free Checking accounts.
ATM Access
Wherever you find yourself needing cash, look for a free SFCU ATM or ITM. You also have access to over 30,000 CO-OP® ATMs nationwide**.
Free Online and Mobile Banking
Manage your account from the convenience of your home, office, or anywhere else using our Online and Mobile access.
With Kwik Kash, your account may be protected from overdraft fees*
A Kwik Kash line of credit will potentially cover charges that exceed your account balance, up to your approved credit limit.
When we offer a Free Checking account, we mean it
With Free Checking, you do not need to pay monthly maintenance fees to operate your account. You can focus on your own expenses and deposits without additional fees impacting your balance.
