The $5 monthly fee is also waived if your account is set up for a monthly direct deposit of $100 or more, or if you’re a Patelco Commitment Household Member.
Plus, payday can come even sooner when you set up direct deposit for your account. Get paid up to two days early —without an additional fee.2
