Civilized: Well Organized. Polite. Refined.
Because by now you know who you are. And where you want to go.
Civilized Checking
Our mission is to be helpful not hurtful, in your retirement journey. A good checking account is your foundation for an organized, civilized, life. Do your other banks have the Grace periods, Alerts, and Common Sense we put to work for you?, Because we, want you to save more and spend less.
Second Act’s Alerts and Grace Periods are helpful, special, and fair. I think of the folks at Second Act as trusted friends because I feel they care.

Does my Civilized Checking earn any interest?

OK, so if I run out of Grace Periods, what are your fees?
Yup, we do have fees. We just try our hardest to help you not incur them. For a list of fees we so reluctantly charge, see our Fee Table below.
