FOLSOM, Calif.–SAFE Credit Union has announced the elimination of or reduction of a number of fees.
Fees recently eliminated include fees for notary services, as well as paper statement and certain check fees ranging individually from $2 to $30, the $4.6-billion SAFE CU said.
“We hope the eliminations help make our members’ overall experience of banking with SAFE more convenient and friendly while helping them save some out of pocket costs,” Senior Vice President for Member Services and Operations Gina Olson said in a statement.
One Noticeable Cut
Olson said one of the most noticeable fees being cut is for notary services in branches.
“We see this as an added benefit of being a SAFE member and we are pleased to offer this important service at no cost to our members,” Olson said. “Notary services in California can cost upward of $15 per signature on a document, so this is a real benefit and value for our members.”
SAFE said it has also eliminated the paper statement fee if certain account conditions were not met. Now, all paper statements will be provided at no cost to members no matter each member’s account status, the 235,000-member credit union said.
Additional Fee Reductions
Other fees eliminated also include those for address locator fees when members new addresses are not readily available, branch photocopy and statement printing services, as well as SAFE’s official check exchange and refund/replacement fees.
