1 Civic participates in select surcharge-free ATM networks. You can find the current list of surcharge-free ATM locations at civicfcu.org/any-atm. Other ATM networks may charge an ATM fee that Civic will reimburse, up to a total of $20 per month, beginning on the first day of the month and ending on the last day. If you are eligible for an ATM fee reimbursement, funds are typically released by Civic to your account within two (2) business days, but timing may vary.
