A simple, low-cost bank account to receive direct deposit of your pay.

You receive the following benefits when you choose the Skylight account!
  • No credit check or minimum balance required to open an account!
  • Convenience--use the Skylight Debit Card Account at ATMs or wherever PIN-based transactions are accepted -- gas stations, grocery stores, & more!
  • Protect Your Personal Safety!! Keep your money in your own FDIC-insured bank account, not in your pocket.
  • You own your Skylight account. It's your bank account. If you ever leave your job.... You can keep your account!!
  • A safe and inexpensive way to send money across the globe -- anywhere, anytime! Use your Skylight card to transfer money to a sub-account fast for much less cash than money transfer agents. Call Skylight Customer Care at 1-800-686-3363 for details.
  • No more standing in line at an expensive check cashing store! With Skylight, YOU control your fees by how you use your account. Here's how:

Comparison of Fees to Convert $800 of Pay into Cash or Purchases:

Check Cashing Store
Check cashing fees are approximately 3-5% of the face value of the check.

This is $24.00-$40.00, directly out of your pocket, each payday!

 

 

Grocery Store
Fees are generally tiered, based on the face value of the check. Area grocery stores charge between $1.00 to $1.50 per $100.

This is $8.00-$12.00 out of your pocket each payday!

 

Give yourself a raise!
Increase your take home pay!
