Free Bill Pay

Scheduling payments through our Online service has never been easier... Just enter the payee’s information and pick the date you want it to be paid! You can modify or cancel payments before they’re sent out, giving you control to help avoid fees like stop payment, courtesy pay, overdraft, and return item.

Use our ATMs

We allow free unlimited ATM transactions at machines we own. This will save you the $1.00 Foreign ATM fee plus the often-pricey surcharge the owner of the ATM may impose!

SFCU also participates in the CO-OP Surcharge Free ATM network. The advantage to you? You can use your SFCU card at a CO-OP ATM and not be charged that annoying surcharge! Our low Foreign ATM fee will still apply because it’s not owned by SFCU, but the savings will be worth it! Use the CO-OP ATM Locator to find a surcharge free ATM near you.
