Voice Access Line - (VAL)

If you prefer to conduct your financial business by phone, try using VAL (Voice Access Line - Audio Response). With VAL, you can obtain account balances, history inquiries on your savings or share draft account, transfer funds, or transfer a payment, see what share drafts have cleared your share draft account, check finance charges on loans, current rates on shares and even have a check mailed to you directly. All that is required is a touch tone phone and your access code, which you assign yourself. Call for a brochure and give VAL a try with our demonstration account. You can call VAL 24 hours a day at 271-0322 or (800) 352-5458 outside the (602) area code.

ATM Card

Your ATM Card will give you access to your savings or checking account round-the-clock. You'll no longer have to wait in long lines. All you need is your ATM card and your personal identification number (PIN) to start taking advantage of this great service. Look for Cirrus, Exchange, or Star System logos at the ATM near you. Through Point-of-Sale (POS) and with your ATM card, you can access your Free Checking account to request funds or make purchases at any merchant displaying the Star logo. (Cash back limits may apply at certain merchants.) Request an application now.

Direct Deposit/Payroll Deduction

Direct Deposit is one of the most convenient ways to eliminate waiting in line to cash your payroll checks. When you set up automatic deposit of your payroll deduction, net pay, pension or government checks, you can have the security of knowing your money has gone directly into your account. Authorizing direct deposit of your pension or government checks is always safe. You won't need to make trips to SunWest or risk a theft from your mailbox. If you are out of town or on vacation don't worry, your check will be deposited automatically.

Overdraft Privilege Program

Have you ever made an honest mistake in balancing your checkbook or didn't transfer funds between accounts fast enough? Occasional overdrafts can happen to everyone. Relax ... SunWest Federal Credit Union now offers qualified members an Overdraft Privilege that may pay checks, VISA Check Card (signature transactions) and ACH debits that are drawn against insufficient funds.

• Freedom from charges by merchants for returned checks
• Payment of overdrafts totaling up to $500
• Protection of your credit rating
• Avoiding embarrassment of returned items
• New convenience in managing your funds

Under this privilege, SunWest may cover your overdrafts up to $500. We will then charge our normal non-sufficient funds fee* for each item that would create an overdraft on your account**. Overdrawn account balances must be cleared up within 30 days. There are no monthly fees and there is no paperwork to fill out!

Vacation Packets

Planning a vacation? SunWest has Vacation Discount Packets available at all of its branch offices. These packets contain brochures and discount information about many attractions, car rentals, and hotels located in Southern California. Visit any branch office for your free vacation packet.

Drop off your deposits, loan payments, or any transaction you wish us to conduct for you. Night drop items left after 9:00 a.m. will be processed the following business day and may not be available for immediate withdrawal. You can access the night depositories 24 hours a day/365 days a year.
