Need to Reload Your Checkbook?
ATM & Debit Cards
The Ladysmith Federal ATM card allows you to access your accounts at an ATM. If you want to use your card for purchases and at ATMs, you will want our debit card instead. Instead of writing a check or using a credit card, just use your debit card. The amount of purchase will automatically be deducted from your checking account.
Direct Deposit
We are proud to offer our customers free direct deposit with any checking account. With direct deposit, your entire check is deposited automatically into your checking account. Direct deposit can be a one-time or recurring deposit, including:
- Payroll
- Dividends/interest
- Social Security
- Annuities, pensions and/or IRAs
- Expense reimbursements
The company or individual initiating the direct deposit will need your 10-digit account number as well as Ladysmith Federal’s routing number: 291571267.
