Checking that's ready for real life.
Life doesn't always happen close to home, but that doesn't worry you! Well...if you're a RealLife Checking Account Holder that is.
This not-so-basic, basic checking account from SAFE gives you the everyday features you need to manage your money, access your cash, and stay on top of your finances from anywhere (that includes the middle of nowhere). It even comes with some extra special perks like:
✅ Access to 30,000+ surcharge-free ATMs
Find cash without the fee at over 30,000 surcharge-free network ATMs across the USA. Chances are good there's one nearby (even when your usual SAFE branch isn't).
✅ Early direct deposit payday
Why wait for payday when your money may be ready sooner? With direct deposit, you can get access to your paycheck early and get a head start on whatever life has planned.
✅ Free FICO® Credit Scores
Knowing where your credit stands is an important part of life. RealLife Checking gives you access to your FICO® Score every quarter via online banking at no additional cost.
Are you ready for checking that keeps up? If you're simply running errands around town, or hitting the big open road to the middle of nowhere, SAFE's RealLife checking was built to go with you.
Checking for Real Life
There's nothing worse than paying a fee to access YOUR OWN money. Especially when you're traveling or on vacation. RealLife checking from SAFE gives you access to more than 30,000 surcharge free network ATMs across the USA. Think of it like the friend who always shows up when life gets real. See it for yourself!
Got Real Life Questions?
It's SAFE's everyday checking account designed to give you convenient access to your money along with useful benefits like 30,000+ surcharge free ATMs, early payday, free quarterly FICO® Scores, convenient Online and Mobile Banking, and so much more.
RealLife Checking is the new name for SAFE's former "Regular Checking Account." We gave it a new name to better reflect everything the account has to offer.
Nope! if you already have a regular checking, you now have RealLife Checking and all these great features that have always come with it. There's no need to open a new account or make any changes.
With most direct deposits, your paycheck may be available a day or two before your scheduled payday, giving you earlier access to your money when it arrives at SAFE.
RealLife checking gives you access to a network of more than 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs all across the nation, making it easier to access cash when you're away from a SAFE branch or ATM. You can search those ATMs here.
SAFE members can see their FICO® Score by logging into their SAFE online banking account or mobile app and clicking on the 'Support & Services' tab. It's completely free and gets refreshed every three months.
