Important information for our ATM & Debit Cardholders:
INTRODUCING IMPROVED ATM NETWORK ACCESS
To better serve you, we have elected to change our ATM network provider. We are moving from the StarSf® network to the NYCE® network with SUM® and MoneyPass®. This change means surcharge-free ATMs in more locations convenient for you. After July 6th, 2010, if you use a StarSf® ATM you may incur a fee.
To find a SUM® or MoneyPass® ATM near you, use our ATM locator here or go directly to www.sum-atm.com or www.moneypass.com.
Should you have any questions about the surcharge-free ATM network, please do not hesitate to contact us. Call us at (708) 478-4447 or visit any of our locations.
