Members 1st Federal Credit Union - Student Services - Tools for School
Tools for School
Don’t leave home without the right tools to help you with your
finances. Remember, we offer convenience and electronic services to help you save
time and money.
Regular Savings Account
This is the account you open when you establish your credit union
membership. A $5 minimum opening deposit and balance is required.
Really Free Checking Account
We don’t charge per check fees, and there’s no monthly minimum
balance requirement. Write as many checks as you need to each month; there’s no limit as long
as you have the funds available in your account. And, for those “just in case” moments,
be sure to sign up for overdraft protection. This allows available funds to be
automatically transferred from your savings or other accounts to “cover” any problems
that may arise.*
Visa Debit Card
This is not a credit card – it works like one, but accesses your Members 1st Checking Account.
That means you must have funds available in your checking account to use this card. Use it at the
ATM or any store, restaurant, gas station, or online – wherever you are, wherever VISA Debit Cards
are accepted. Plus, you'll earn a nickel every time you use your VISA Debit Card as “credit.”
This nickel rebate is our exclusive Swipe 5™ feature that pays you. Use your debit card as “credit”
as often as you want – the monthly rebates add up!**
Student Visa Credit Card
We’ll give you a generous line of credit on this variable rate
account and 0.5% cash-back on your purchases. If you are under age 18, a parent must
co-sign on your account. There are no annual fees or hidden charges.
Members 1st Online
Manage your money online from any PC – make account transfers,
check account balances, make loan and VISA payments. You can even request statement
copies, view your electronic account statement, re-order your checks, view your cleared
checks, apply for loans, and use Bill Payer for a nominal fee. A Members 1st Online Password is required for this service. Be sure to elect this service on
your membership application.
No Surcharge ATM Network
Look for this logo for ATMs in the No surcharge ATM Alliance or go to www.cudollar.org for locations.
Telephone Services
EZ-Call is our automated phone
service available anytime, anywhere. Just call (800) 283-4372 to
access your account. You need a Personal Identification Number to use this service.
Sign up for this when you complete your membership application.
TeleBranch is our telephone branch staffed by real live people who will assist you with account
inquiries and transactions. Nominal fee assessed for some inquiries. Call (800) 237-7288.
Loans
Sooner or later, you need to establish a credit history. If you
need a car or a computer, apply online with EZ Loan. Loans for tuition
are also available. Your car or computer loan payment may be set up so that the
payment is automatically deducted from your account so you never have to worry about
missing a payment or being late.
Members 1st Education Award
