Make the Switch to SESLOC in 6 Easy Steps
Switching to SESLOC is easy — just follow these six steps.
What is a Cashier’s Check & When Do I Need to Use It?
What do you use when a person or business won’t accept personal checks, debit, or credit cards (or if the transaction is above your credit/debit daily limit)? That’s where a cashier’s check comes in.
What’s the Difference Between Overdraft and NSF Fees?
So you might be wondering — what exactly is an overdraft and why do financial institutions charge fees for...
1. Basic Checking is not eligible for Courtesy Pay Service or SESLOC Rewards Program for debit cards. Basic Checking incurs a $2.00 monthly fee for paper statements. Refer to the Basic Checking Truth in Savings Disclosure for more information.
2. Early access to direct deposit funds subject to employer and/or payer terms and conditions. SESLOC Credit Union (“Credit Union”) generally makes these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to one (1) day earlier than the scheduled payment date. The Credit Union cannot guarantee early access of a direct deposit payment. Other exceptions may apply.
“Great alternative to big corporate banks that profess to also be “people” but don’t remind you of any person that evercared about you in the least.”
