ATM Usage

I used a surcharge-free ATM. Why did I receive a $2.00 fee from Service Credit Union?
The charge that is waived when using a surcharge-free ATM is the fee that the owner of the ATM charges. The $2.00 fee is assessed by Service Credit Union when a member uses a non-Service Credit Union ATM. Depending on the checking account tier you have, you may qualify for up to $30 monthly for ATM reimbursements. More information.

Today, members can conduct Service Credit Union transactions at 5,000 shared branch locations and nearly 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs worldwide.
