Pay your way

Teller's checks (cashier checks)
A teller's check is a way to guarantee that your check won't bounce. The payment is moved from your account to a Members 1st escrow account, and we pay the check recipient directly.

Certified checks
Think of a certified check as a more secure version of an everyday check. We certify that your signature is genuine and that you have sufficient funds, and we hold those funds for the check's recipient.

Members can avoid paying a surcharge by using a CO-OP ATM or a CU$ ATM. You won't be charged a surcharge at these ATMs. CO-OP and CU$ ATMs are located throughout the United States.
We don't charge members a fee for using our ATMs. You may be charged a surcharge fee from the financial institution or business that owns the ATM. Your Member Loyalty Rewards level determines the number of free monthly transactions you may have when using a non-Members 1st ATM, known as a "foreign" ATM. ATM transactions count towards the monthly allowance and include withdrawals, transfers, and balance inquiries performed at foreign ATM machines. Deposits made through a foreign ATM will not be counted towards the free monthly transaction allowance. Every ATM must advise if a surcharge fee is applicable.
Please note that other fees may be associated with ATM withdrawals and inquiries that exceed three per month on non-Members 1st ATM and on returned unpaid ATM deposits.
