What changed?

You’ve got a lot going on in your life, so the last thing you need is the financial part weighing your business down. That’s why we updated our accounts to help save you money—and earn more on the money you save.

Your account and card numbers stayed the same so there is no disruption or change to your recurring payments, direct deposits, or transfers.

Pay less

Alaska USA has always been a low-fee leader—and with expenses rising everywhere we've decided to lower them even more.

  • We’ve eliminated non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees—so we’ve given you one less thing to worry about.
  • Want the flexibility to go over your available checking balance if you need to? We’ve also lowered the fees for our overdraft programs.

This change made it so you no longer have to tier hop (open new accounts) from one share type to another in order to earn the best dividend rate. The same account will earn the best dividend rate for the amount you have deposited.

Our overdraft offerings have changed. Business members who wish to continue using our overdraft offerings should contact the Member Service Center at 800-525-9094 or visit their local branch. 

In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the amount and type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. The first $225 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will notify you in writing when the hold decision is made. We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available (generally no later than the fifth business day after the day of your deposit).
