ATM CARDS The ATM card program is still available.  DEBIT CARDS Come in and sign up for the MasterCard Debit Card now.  You must have a share draft account in order to get a  debit card.  But with a debit card, you don't have to carry as much cash.  You also limit the need to write checks, show identification, and wait for approval.  What's more, debit cards are more readily accepted than checks, especially when you're traveling away from home.  Debit card transactions are deducted from your share draft account, so you must be aware of the checks you have written at the time of your debit card purchase.  This is when overdraft protection can be really important.  When you make a purchase, just say "credit" and sign the slip.  If you use your PIN, the transaction will be considered an ATM withdrawal and you may be charged at month end. If you need cash from an ATM machine, this is your card!  There is no charge for the first 4 withdrawals.  After this, there is a $2.00 charge for each withdrawal or transfer.  Other surcharges may occur at the machine.  If you go to a Co-Op Network machine, there are no surcharges!  Currently, there is no charge at participating 7-11 Stores throughout the United States.  Look in our "Member Benefits" page for the website of Co-Op Network.   Another service that we offer is overdraft protection for share draft accounts.  You will need to sign a form at time of application for the debit card.  You must meet certain credit guidelines to qualify for a line of credit.

DIRECT DEPOSIT/EFT PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
Many companies now offer their employees direct deposit of their paychecks.  This alleviates having to come in and make your deposit, and it saves your employer money by going paperless.  You can also have your utilities paid from your share draft account.  Life insurance premiums, auto insurance premiums, brokerage house payments, utilities, cable bills, etc. are all examples of payments that can be made from your account.  If you are having multiple withdrawals made in this manner, you must use your share draft account, as there is a limit on withdrawals from a savings account. Only 6 unsigned withdrawals are allowed from a savings account per the Federal Reserve's Regulation D.  See our EFT Agreement for more information.   Our routing and transfer number is 272484302.

LOANS
We currently offer all loans through our LoanLiner Credit and Security Agreement Program.  Once documentation is complete, we can approve your loan within a very short time.  Once the documentation is signed, you may not even have to come in for an advance.  On initial applications, a 24-hour turnaround may be necessary.  If you apply on-line, your first approved advance will get you a $5 Panera Bread card. 

We have a variety of loan services available.   Secured loans include: new auto/truck loans, used auto/truck loans, other vehicle loans including motorcycles, ATVs, camper/trailers, snowmobiles.

Unsecured loans are signature loans or personal loans.  These can be used to pay off bills or make other durable purchases.
