          This statement amends Items 2 and 5 of the Schedule 13D of Steven J.
Halmos dated February 24, 1989, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated April 20,
1989, Amendment No. 2 dated August 30, 1989 and Amendment No. 3 dated July 27,
1990 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock, $.01 par
value per share (the "Common Stock"), of SafeCard Services, Incorporated (the
"Company").


Item 2.   Identity and Background.

          Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

          This statement is filed by Steven J. Halmos, a United States citizen,
whose address is 707 Coral Way, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.  Mr. Halmos is a
private investor.

          During the past five years, Mr. Halmos (i) has not been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and
(ii) has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
body of competent jurisdiction and as a result was or is subject to a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 5.   Interest in Securities of Issuer.

          Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

          Mr. Halmos currently beneficially owns and has sole voting and
investment power with respect to 50,000 shares of Common Stock, representing
less than one percent of the Common Stock issued and outstanding (based on the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on May 31, 1994, as
reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 30, 1994).

          On June 9, 1994, Mr. Halmos acquired 3,900,000 shares of Common Stock
in connection with the cashless exercise of stock options granted to Mr. Halmos
in 1989.  The exercise price per share of such options was $5.125 with respect
to 1,950,000 shares and $5.50 with respect to 1,950,000 shares.  Mr. Halmos sold
all of such 3,900,000 shares on June 9, 1994 for $16.50 per share in a
transaction executed on the New York Stock Exchange.  As a result of such sale,
Mr. Halmos ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the
Common Stock issued and outstanding.

          Except as indicated above, no transactions in Common Stock were
effected during the past 60 days by Mr. Halmos.

          As previously reported in the Schedule 13D, on August 30, 1989, the
Board of Directors of the Company granted, effective as of January 25, 1989,

Item.  Mr. Halmos intends to reassess, from time to time, the appropriate level
of his investment in the Company and depending on market conditions and other

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of Issuer.
 
          (a) Mr. Halmos is the beneficial owner of 3,712,893 shares of Stock,
which represents approximately 13.1% (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-

outstanding Stock (which was 26,396,040 shares as of April 30, 1990 according to
the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 1990).  Of the 3,712,893
shares of Stock which Mr. Halmos beneficially owns, Mr. Halmos currently holds
1,550,760 shares directly, shares the power to vote and dispose of 178,800
shares by virtue of his position as a Trustee of the Trust, and has the right to
acquire
<PAGE>
 
the remaining 1,983,333 shares pursuant to the exercise of options within sixty
days of the date of this statement.


Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
          to Securities of the Issuer.

     As reported in the Form 4 filed by Mr. Halmos on March 9, 1989, the Board

the increase, if any, in the fair market value of 1,950,000 shares of Stock

in order to effectuate the intent and purpose of the January 1989 Board action.

     Mr. Halmos has been informed by the Board of Directors of the Company that
the options referred to in Item 3 were granted to him as incentive compensation
because he is considered to be an individual whose services are important to the
Company.  Mr. Halmos is an officer and a director of the Company and in that
capacity participates in corporate decision-making relevant to matters covered
by this item.  Mr. Halmos intends to reassess, from time to time, the

part of the options referred to in Item 3 or sell (or buy) shares of Stock
through transactions on NASDAQ or in the over-the-counter market, or through
privately negotiated transactions.

     (a) Mr. Halmos is the beneficial owner of 2,962,426 shares of Stock, which

are currently owned and Mr. Halmos has the right to acquire the remaining
1,316,666 shares of Stock within sixty days of the date of this Statement.

     (b) Mr. Halmos retains the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, and
the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, with respect to the
1,645,760 shares of Stock currently owned.

     (c) Except as set forth in Item 3, neither Mr. Halmos nor the Trust
effected any transactions in shares of Stock in the last sixty days.

     (d) No person other than Mr. Halmos is known to have the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of, the securities referred to in Item 5.

     (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
