Credit unions traditionally have fewer fees. Five Star does its best to help members avoid as many fees as possible. Fees generally reflect Five Star’s actual costs and losses that incur when members intentionally or accidentally use these services.
Five Star encourages all members to stop by a branch, or call a member service representative at 866.619.1711, to work on ways to avoid fees.
