Bill Pay

We are currently experiencing issues with setting up new eBills and are working diligently to resolve this as soon as possible.

The biller's address needs to match the address our new Bill Pay service has in their system. If bills were previously sent electronically and are now being issued by check, there is most likely a discrepancy between the mailing address on file and the one required by the new Bill Pay service. Please check the mailing address of the biller and then update it if needed in Bill Pay. Once updated, your payments should change from check to electronic.

To update the address: Transfer & Pay → Bill Pay → My Payees → select bill being paid by standard check → Manage → pencil icon → review/update the address

The Bill Pay service is free to members.

When you sign up for eStatements, you will no longer receive paper statements in the mail. Benefits of eStatements include:

  • Enhanced security as confidential information is not left sitting in your mailbox or lost in someone else's mailbox subjecting you to identity theft
  • Convenience
  • Faster access than through regular mail
  • Environmentally friendly because of reduced paper usage
  • Access to 24 months of statement history

No. You can either receive paper statements or eStatements, but not both. While you will not be receiving paper statements, eStatements may be printed or saved to your computer. You will also have access to two years of eStatements.
 

To enroll, log into Online Banking, click on eDocuments from the Accounts menu and follow the prompts.

When your eStatement becomes available, you will receive an email directing you to log into Online Banking or the Mobile App to retrieve your e-Statement.

High-Rate VIP Checking

During the month in which the account qualifies, the VIP Account pays a higher Annual Percentage Yield on a portion of your account balance.

View all requirements on our VIP Checking page.

The requirements remain the same regardless of when you open your account.

No, as long as you meet the stated requirements during the month, you will receive rewards for that month.

No. However, the reward rate on the VIP Checking account is paid on balances up to $15,000. Balances above that will earn the current Regular Checking account rate.

You can log into Online Banking at any time to check your status by selecting VIP Rewards from the Tools menu, or in the Mobile App by tapping More, Tools, then VIP Rewards.

In other words, if you make a purchase near the end of the month, it may not post to your account until the following month. The transaction will count towards your requirement during the month in which it actually posts to your account.

What is the Credit Union Difference

Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. We exist to serve our members, not to make a profit. Unlike most financial institutions, credit unions do not issue stock or pay dividends to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to our members in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, and lower fees.
 

Credit unions are ruled by democracy. Each credit union member has equal ownership in the credit union and can vote for credit union board members-regardless of the amount he or she has on deposit.
 

Each credit union is governed by a board of directors, elected by and from the credit union's membership. Board members may serve voluntarily.
 

By current federal and state statutes, credit unions cannot serve the general public. People qualify for credit union membership through their location, employer, or organizational affiliations like churches or social groups.
 

Credit unions help members become better-educated financial services consumers. Additionally, credit unions are partnering with the National Endowment for Financial Education, a not-for-profit foundation, to expand financial education among high school students. A national study shows that just ten hours of personal finance education can positively affect students' spending and saving habits for a lifetime.
 

Credit unions exist to help people, not make a profit. Our goal is to serve our entire membership well, including those of modest means - every member counts. As a result, our members are fiercely loyal and they know their credit union will be there for them in bad times, as well as good. The same people-first philosophy causes credit unions and our employees to get involved in community charitable activities and worthwhile causes - just ask us.
 

Credit unions pay taxes - payroll taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes. In 1937, Congress exempted credit unions from federal income taxes and affirmed the exemption by statute in 1951. In addition, the Credit Union Membership Access Act of 1998 states: "Credit unions, unlike many other participants in the financial services market, are exempt from Federal and most State taxes because credit unions are member-owned, democratically operated, not-for-profit organizations generally managed by volunteer boards of directors and because they have the specified mission of meeting the credit and savings needs of consumers, especially persons of modest means."

FlexPay

Welcome to the FlexPay Program! With a few easy clicks, you can extend and lower your monthly auto or personal loan payments - the entire process is completed securely on-line. You are in control and can select the term and monthly payment that fits your needs. It's simple and convenient.
 

An auto loan must have at least 3 months remaining with a balance of $3,000 or more. A personal loan must have at least 6 months remaining with a balance of $1,000 or more. Membership must be in good standing and the loan must be current with no delinquencies in the past 6 months.
 

Generally, you are eligible to use FlexPay after the first 8 months on an auto loan and 6 months on a personal loan. You can extend the term a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 36 months. Once you change the term, you're eligible to use the program every 12 months thereafter.
 

No, there is no fee to use this program.
 

Yes. Your APR will increase and, if you make payments as scheduled, extending the term will increase the interest over the life of the loan. Remember, you can always make additional payments and/or payoff your loan early, without penalty.
 

Once you log into Online Banking, click on Flex Pay from the menu. Select the loan you'd like to customize and click on the Continue FlexPay button. You will be presented with a comparison screen that allows you to move a dial to select the number of months you would like to extend your loan. You can see your new monthly payment and associated savings change as you move the dial. When you're ready to select your new term and payment, just click the Extend Term button to submit the forms electronically.
 

Yes. Use the tools on the next page to test out and consider different payment options, without finalizing the process. Just click the Decline button to cancel the process.

Home Equity Loans

While both home equity loans and HELOCs allow homeowners to borrow against their home equity, they work differently. A home equity loan provides a lump sum of money upfront with a fixed interest rate and monthly payments. A HELOC works more like a credit card with a revolving line of credit that you can borrow from as needed, with variable interest rates and flexible repayment terms.

The interest on home equity loans may be tax-deductible if the funds are used for home improvements. Please consult your tax advisor.

You can find your due date in Online Banking by selecting your loan, then Account Details, or in the Mobile App by selecting your loan, then Show Details. Your loan due date will also be included on your statement/eStatement.

You will need verification of income, most recent mortgage statement, and proof of homeowner's insurance.

Provided we receive the required documentation in a timely manner, it typically takes two weeks, but could take longer.

IRAs

A Traditional IRA allows individuals to make tax-deductible contributions, and earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawals are made during retirement. Taxes are paid on withdrawals, typically at retirement age when the individual's tax rate is potentially lower.

A Roth IRA allows individuals to contribute after-tax income, and qualified withdrawals (including earnings) are tax-free during retirement. Contributions can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.

Yes, individuals can have multiple IRAs, including different types (Traditional, Roth, etc.). However, annual contribution limits apply collectively across all IRAs of the same type.

Withdrawals from a Traditional IRA before age 59½ may be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty in addition to ordinary income tax unless an exception applies. Roth IRAs have more flexibility, allowing penalty-free withdrawals of contributions (but not earnings) at any time.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from Traditional IRAs must begin by April 1st of the year following the year you turn 72 (for individuals who turned 70½ before January 1, 2020, it was 70½). Roth IRAs do not require RMDs during the account holder's lifetime.

Mortgages

Mortgage eligibility is determined by factors such as credit score, income, employment history, debt-to-income ratio, and the amount of the down payment.

Private mortgage insurance is a type of insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. It is typically required for conventional loans with a down payment of less than 20%.

Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing the mortgage loan, including lender fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, and prepaid items like property taxes and homeowners insurance. Closing costs typically range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount.

Applying for a pre-approved mortgage shows sellers and real estate agents that you are a serious and qualified buyer. A pre-approved mortgage gives you an estimate of how much you can borrow, what interest rate you can expect, and what your monthly payments will be. This can help you narrow down your home search and make a strong offer when you find the right property. Visit our Mortgage Center to apply for a pre-approval. The process should take an average of 15-20 minutes.
