A world of choice  
At 1st Choice Savings, we are committed to providing our members with flexible banking solutions that make managing finances as simple and convenient as possible. When you're a 1st Choice Savings member, full service means convenience, innovative products and friendly service.

Telephone Banking

We have 2 numbers that allow you to manage your accounts with round-the-clock convenience at your fingertips.  Do your financial transactions by phone, from the comfort and privacy of your home or office, 24 hours a day by calling 403.382.2996 or toll free 1.866.803.0733.



Automatic Transfer System

Pre-authorized transfers are a great way to automatically transfer funds between accounts, make loan payments from the account of your choice or set up a convenient savings plan. Transfers can be pre-authorized at the frequency of your choice.

Utility Bill Payments

Utility and credit card payments can be made using our 24 hour online Banking or Teleservice or at any branch.

Safety Deposit Box

We offer our members secure storage containers which provide maximum protection against fire, loss and/or theft of valuables of important items and documents. Located in our vaults, both the member's key and the 1st Choice Savings Preparatory key are required for access. Rental fees are based on the size of the box.

Night Depository

Convenient after-hour depository reduces the risk and worry of carrying cash overnight or over the weekend. Deposits are credited to your account the next business day.

Official Orders

1st Choice Savings offers our members official orders for financial transactions, remittances on behalf of the purchaser for payment of its own expenses or whenever an exchange of funds is required. Official orders are a convenient and secure way to send money in Canadian funds. Official orders ensure that the Payee is guaranteed payment.

Remittances on behalf of our members include
  • Disbursement of loan fund
  • Closing a member's account
  • Transferring a member's account to another financial institution
  • The payment of collection items
Money Orders

Similar to a certified cheque, money orders provide a secure and convenient method to forward guaranteed funds anywhere in Canada. The maximum dollar amount of any one money order is $1,000.

U.S. Drafts

We offer our members a way to send money in U.S. funds with convenience and security. American Express U.S. drafts are more readily accepted as payment than U.S. dollar cheques drawn on a Canadian financial institution. The maximum dollar amount is $100,000.
