    John Hancock Safe Access Account

    John Hancock Safe Access Account


    At John Hancock, we understand how important financial choices can significantly impact your future. We help by opening in your name through the proceeds of a claim or settlement a John Hancock Safe Access Account that is an interest bearing checking account*. The account immediately begins to earn you interest compounded daily.
     

    A personalized draftbook is provided for writing drafts of any amount, up to the entire account balance. Funds can be kept in the account as long as desired without any monthly or annual fees. The account is guaranteed** by John Hancock, and will provide a convenient way to access your funds at any time while earning an attractive interest rate.
     

    A welcome kit is sent in the mail that includes everything needed to begin using the John Hancock Safe Access Account:
     

    Personalized Draftbook.
    An initial supply of drafts and additional drafts may be ordered at no cost.
     

    Confirmation Certificate.
    An official notice of the opening balance and the current interest rate. It is recommended that this be saved for permanent records. The Terms and Conditions of the program are located on the back of the certificate.
