Direct Deposit
Direct Deposit is safe and secure, and it’s easy to sign up. When you have your paycheck or benefit check directly deposited into your American First Credit Union account, you’ll get immediate access to your funds each payday. And, you’ll eliminate the risk of check fraud and lost or stolen checks. In most cases, just take our Direct Deposit Request form to your payroll/benefits department.
Direct Deposit Request Form What You'll Need
You can always call us at 800-290-1112 or visit any American First branch and we’ll be happy to help.
Overdraft Privilege Service
Everyone has an 'oops' moment. When you opt-in to use Overdraft Privilege Service for your checking account, we may cover items when you don't have enough money in your account or the funds are not yet available to cover one-time everyday debit card transactions. It's free to opt-in, and you'll only be charged when you initiate transactions that would cause your balance to go below zero. To sign up for this service, call us anytime or stop by a branch.
