No minimum balance requirement if you have a qualifying savings account
with a minimum balance of $2500.

I believe this is true, since I am in the Interest Checking category and
do receive my checks free of charge.

As far as pushing Check Safekeeping -- I haven't seen any evidence of that.
They sent me notice of the option a long time ago, I informed them I wanted
my checks and I haven't had any pressure (or even any inducement) to change
since that time.

Actually, I like this feature and don't think it is silly at all.  It is
a very secure way to ensure that unauthorized people don't get hold of your
ATM card.  Other banks send your secret code through the mail.  With Security
Pacific, my secret code is picked by me when I activate the card -- and it
is NEVER written down and sent through the mail.

I've been with Security Pacific since around 1979 and have been very happy
with the service I've gotten (which is why I've stayed with them for that
long).  I'm a little nervous about the impending merger with BofA, though.
My wife is with BofA, though, and has been happy with their service.
