A great place to start your savings program is with one of our basic savings accounts. With our SaveFirst, Statement Savings and traditional Passbook Savings accounts to choose from, you're bound to find one that meets your needs.
If you need another reason to start saving, here it is: We'll waive all normal monthly fees on your First American checking account when you maintain a combined minimum daily balance among your checking, savings, and money market account (between $3,500 and $25,000, depending on the account).
Savings and Money Market accounts may be accessed 24 hours a day through any STARŪ ATM, while Bank-By-Phone is available from 7:00 a.m. to midnight, central standard time, seven days a week on all accounts. Or, if you have questions, our Customer Service Center provides person-to-person service six days a week. Just call 847-952-3700 or in Joliet, call 815-729-8050, and in Kankakee, call 815-935-7055 or email us.
