San Francisco Federal Credit Union Standard Savings Account FAQ

    Savings accounts are designed to help people grow their savings. Per federal regulation, you can make up to six (6) withdrawals or transfers from a savings account each month. If you exceed that amount, you will be charged an Excess Activity Fee.

    With our Standard Savings Account, interest is calculated using the Daily Balance method. The daily interest earned is added to the account balance, and this new balance is used to calculate interest for the next day. This process repeats daily, and the total accumulated interest is credited to the account at the end of the month.

    Yes, if your employer pays with direct deposit, you may be able to have a portion of your paychecks deposited into your savings account. It’s a great way to grow your savings!
