Important Notice: Night Drop

Deposits received in the night drop are posted when the Credit Union opens at 9am for the current business day. All returns are completed by the data processor prior to opening. We will no longer refund NSF fees unless caused by a Credit Union error. To help us out make sure the funds are available in your account before writing checks.

Additionally, please be aware that check deposits may require mandatory holds – this means funds may not be immediately available.

Balance Inquiries

Each month you are entitled to 6 balance inquiries over the phone at no charge.  Each
inquiry over the phone thereafter will incur a charge of $1.

Upcoming Holiday: Memorial Day: Mon. May 28th – Closed

Building your Credit?

We know the whole process can be incredibly frustrating.  That’s why we are here to help. It seems as though you need credit to get credit, so starting off can be difficult.  If you can’t seem to get approved for a credit card, we have another option:  With a secured Visa, you are guaranteed approval and are on your way to a better credit score.  You will have a credit line up to the amount you secure and that money is always earning interest!

Register and manage your Visa online at EZCardInfo.com

Do You Know about Escheat?

Pennsylvania state law requires unclaimed or abandoned funds, also called dormant accounts, to be sent to the state after three years.  In order to avoid fees or dormant status, we ask that you make regular deposits into your account.

For more information about the Escheat Law or to see if you have abandoned funds to reclaim, Visit: www.patreasury.gov

A Most Sincere Thank You

How are You Keeping Track?

If you are like everyone else, you regularly swipe your debit card, write checks, and make deposits and withdrawals.  With such frequent transactions, how are you keeping track of all of it? Are you calling one of your branches for details and balances?  Do you wait for your statement to come and balance that against your checkbook? Do you keep a register?  Do it the easy way: free E-Services!

Check your balances any time you want and avoid costs. Don’t forget to ask about our mobile app!
