Frequently Asked Questions

Free4all Checking FAQs

Find answers to common questions about Free4all Checking, including account access, features, and how to get started.

No. To open a checking account, members are required to have a savings share account with a minimum $5 balance at all times.

Yes, each debit card linked to your checking account must have the same Smart Change status.

During business hours, call Keesler Federal. After hours, use the listed card activation, PIN change, lost or stolen card, or fraud alert numbers depending on card type and need.

Customer Service New Phone Number: 888-533-7537
Lost/Stolen Cards New Phone Number: 800-315-3046
Change/Reset PIN New Phone Number: 888-886-0083
Card Activation New Phone Number: 800-631-3197

Each debit card purchase will still appear on your account for the actual amount of the transaction. At the end of each business day, one Smart Change transfer will be made for the total of the rounded up difference for each of your debit card purchases posted on that day. This transfer will appear as on your account as a single line item transaction.

Example:

Day 1 Debit Purchase: Gas $28.15

Day 1 Debit Purchase: Grocery $55.48

Day 1 Debit Purchase: Amazon $44.75

Day 1 Smart Change Transfer to Savings: $1.62 (.85 +.52 +.25)

If your account balance is insufficient to cover the entire amount of your automatic Smart Change transfer, we will only transfer the amount of funds up to a $0.00 (zero) balance.

Example: Your checking account balance is $1.00. Your round up funds for that day totals $1.50. In this case, Smart Change will only transfer $1.00 to your Smart Change savings account. If your account has a negative balance, the entire Smart Change transfer for that day will be skipped.

NOTE: There are no “catch up” transfers for skipped transactions due to an insufficient balance. Transfers can only occur on the same day that your debit card purchases post. Please also be aware that although your Smart Change transfer amount will be adjusted (or skipped) for an insufficient or negative balance, your actual purchase amount will still post even if it results in an overdraft on your account.

Yes, you may make up to 6 withdrawals per month through online and mobile banking or by calling or visiting a branch.

You can order checks online, by calling our Member Contact Center or visiting a branch. You will need your routing number, account number, and zip code.

The debit card you ordered during the sign up process should arrive in 7-10 days. Once you have activated it, be sure to add it your preferred digital wallet.

No. Smart Change savings accounts can only receive funds via automatic system transfers resulting from your debit card purchases.
