    More to think about...

    * SEFCU members are not required to pay a fee at Allpoint ATMs. If a charge screen appears during your Allpoint ATM transaction, enter “yes” to accept the charge and proceed with your withdrawal. The additional fee will not be deducted from your SEFCU account. The savings can be $3 or more per transaction. Please note, at international Allpoint ATMs, you will still be responsible for the Mastercard® Foreign Currency transaction fee.
    See mastercard.us/zero-liability for details.
    *** Annual Percentage Yield. Minimum average daily balance to obtain APY is $250. Rate and APY are variable and are subject to change after the account is opened. APY is accurate as of today - November 23, 2020. Fees may reduce earnings.
