Bill Pay

Were my eBills impacted? When will I be able to set-up new eBills?
We are currently experiencing issues with setting up new eBills and are working diligently to resolve this as soon as possible.

In the new Bill Pay Service, why are payments being sent by check that were previously paid electronically?
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

What is the fee for Online Bill Pay?

Rewards Checking

What are the rewards for the VIP Checking Accounts?
During the month in which the account qualifies, the VIP Account pays a higher Annual Percentage Yield on a portion of your account balance.

What are the requirements that must be met to qualify for the rewards?
View all requirements on our VIP Checking page.

Will the requirements be pro-rated if I open my account later in the month?
The requirements remain the same regardless of when you open your account.

Is there a minimum balance requirement in order to receive my rewards?
No, as long as you meet the stated requirements during the month, you will receive rewards for that month.

Is there a limit to the amount of money I can keep in my account?
No. However, the reward rate on the VIP account is paid on balances up to $15,000. Balances above that will earn the current Regular Checking account rate.

What if I do not meet the requirements for a particular month?
If you do not meet the stated requirements then your VIP account will not earn dividends for that particular month.

How can I check my qualification status during the month?
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.

Do ATM transactions count towards the required number of Visa Debit Card transactions per month?
No. ATM transactions do not count. To meet this requirement, you must complete 15 Visa Debit Card purchases for the Platinum tier and 12 Visa Debit Card purchases for the Gold tier during the month (signature based or PIN based).

Do Visa Check Card authorizations count towards the required number of Visa Debit Card transactions per month?
No. When you make a purchase using your Visa Debit Card, the authorization for the transaction is processed right away. However, the transaction may not actually post to your account for a few days. 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.

Why is the APY on my statement lower than the premium VIP APY?
If you have balances over $15,000, those funds will earn a lower APY which will make your actual APY lower than the stated premium APY for the VIP checking account.

Can I open my account online?
Yes, you can open your account by logging into Online Banking or our Mobile App and clicking on "Quick Apply" from the Accounts Menu.

How many VIP Checking Accounts can I have?
You may have one VIP account per primary account owner (if you have multiple member numbers, you will still be permitted to maintain only one VIP).

This can be easily done by contacting our Call Center or visiting one of our branches. During the conversion process, your ATM/Debit card access, along with any electronic debits/credits will be automatically transferred to your new account. You will also be able to use your existing supply of checks.

Can I use my existing checks?
Yes, your checking account number will be converted and you can continue using your checks.

If I have established Alerts, will these automatically transfer to my converted VIP Account?
This information will not automatically convert. You will need to log into Online Banking to edit your Alerts for your new account.

Will Visa Debit Card transactions and/or direct deposits made before my account was converted count towards my monthly requirements?
No. Only transactions and/or direct deposits made on the newly converted account will count towards your monthly requirements.

What is the Credit Union Difference

Not-for-profit.
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.

Ownership.
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.

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

Membership Eligibility.
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.

Financial Education for Members.
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.

Social Purpose: People Helping People.
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.

Taxation.
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."
