There are many easy ways to qualify for Salal membership. See our membership requirements.
All Salal auto and recreational vehicle loans require:
  • Full coverage insurance with a deductible of $1,000 or less.
  • Salal Credit Union listed as lien holder with your insurance company.
If there is ever a lapse in your required insurance or if your insurance info is incomplete, Salal’s designated partner, MyInsuranceInfo.com, may send you communications via text message or letter notifying you that you need to take action. You are able to opt out of MyInsuranceInfo.com‘s text messaging by replying “STOP”. If you have further questions, send us a secure message within Salal Mobile or Online Banking or give us a call at 800.562.5515.
We have ATMs located at all of our branches and several other locations. Salal also participates in the CO-OP and CULIANCE Network of ATMs, giving you access to nearly 40,000+ surcharge-free ATMs nationwide. Find a Salal ATM or surcharge-free ATM on our Locations & Hours page.
There are no annual fees associated with a Salal debit card. It is free to use and all transactions using a Salal ATM are free of charge, although there is a 1% Foreign ATM or debit transaction fee. A surcharge may be assessed at machines owned by other financial institutions, but our participation in the CO-OP and CULIANCE Networks gives you access to more than 40,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide.

When your debit card is reissued, the PIN should remain the same. If you are having trouble with your PIN, call 866.762.0558 to select a PIN. If outside of the U.S., call 501.588.7531.

As long as you report that your card has been lost, stolen, or fraudulently used, the most you would be responsible for is $50.00 if your card is used as a PIN-based transaction. If you report the loss or unauthorized use to Salal within 48 hours, or if the transaction in question is signature-based, you will not be held liable for any funds lost. If you suspect that your debit card is lost, stolen, or is being used fraudulently please call 800.562.5515 immediately.
