Safe Check
Georgia is the current state selected.
City National’s Safe Check Account is an alternative to a traditional checking account, designed to help you avoid spending more than you have in your account. Safe Check offers a low monthly maintenance fee with no minimum balance requirement.
Access features of the Safe Check account include a debit card for day-to-day or ATM transactions, online banking with Online Bill Payment through City National Online and mobile banking, which includes FASTdeposit® to deposit checks using your smart phone or tablet.
To help you manage your account:
- We won’t authorize an ATM or one-time debit card transaction when there is not enough money in your account at the time you use your card;
- We won’t pay a check or other debit* if it would cause an overdraft in your account, and no NSF or overdraft fee will be assessed;

*Some exceptions apply.
**Payments you authorize through Online Bill Payment may be made by a draft drawn on the account and mailed to the payee if the payee you set up is not recognized by our system as able to receive the payment electronically. Drafts issued will show as checks on your statement. The account does not permit you to write checks. If you do write a check (including a temporary or counter check) in violation of the account provision, it may be paid but will be counted and charged as if it was on Online Bill Payment draft. Your account may also be closed.
