Interior FCU Summer 2019 Newsletter 

 
Shared Branch and ATM Network – Use thousands of branches and surcharge-free ATMs wherever you see CO-OP logos.
Your credit union membership gives you convenient access to your accounts event when you’re nowhere near your home branch. And CO-OP logos make it easier than ever to recognize all the possibilities from coast to coast. You’ll find nearly 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide, including places you may shop, such as 7-11 and Costco.
At more than 5,600 branches you can get person-to-person assistance with your accounts as well as make deposits, transfers and account inquiries. Finding the nearest branch or surcharge-free ATM is easy with our locator tool at interiorfcu.org.
 
How it works: When you go to a shared branch to conduct a transaction, it would be very similar if you walked in to one of Interior FCU’s home branches. You would explain to the teller you are a member of the Interior Federal Credit Union, and that you would like to make a transaction. From there, they can access a shared network to process your transaction at our Credit Union. You have access to your information and to cash just as you would from us. 
 
Through this Network, our members have access to MORE Branch Locations and ATMs than most of the National Banks!

An emergency savings fund is a crucial part of your personal finances. No matter your greater financial goals - eliminating debt, improving your credit score, saving for your kid's college, saving for retirement - building a sufficient emergency savings fund is the first step to a healthier, wealthier, you. 
 
Your emergency fund is the life preserver you keep in case of a financial emergency. So how big does your financial life preserver need to be? Read More to find out!

IRAs can be tricky, but we want to simplify them for you. Did you know that you have the option to move your money between IRAs with either a transfer or a rollover? With both transactions, you are moving money between two different IRAs and they can be at different financial institutions.

When asking to conduct a transfer, you would instruct your financial organization to move the money DIRECTLY to another IRA at a different financial organization. In this instance, money never passes through your hands, and you can transfer all or just a portion of your funds as many times as you want.If you are trying to complete a rollover, your financial institution distributes the amount of money you choose from your IRA to you. 

Whatever option you decide, we want our members to feel confident in their financial decisions. If you would like to transfer your current IRA to Interior FCU please visit our website or give us a call at 800.914.8619 and we will be more than happy to assist you with the proccess. 
Updates to the IFCU Mobile App
 
You may have noticed an update to our mobile app! We have recently upgraded to version 5.12 and there have been a couple of changes we want to make our members aware of:
 
  1. You will now have to ability to request your user credentials - In the past it was difficult for users to reset their credentials from the login page. To help reduce calls, we have moved the access point for requesting credentials to the main screen. For users who forgot their credentials, the ability to request a password reset is now visible just above the login button. Also, the term "Recover Credential", is now renamed "Forgot Login", making it self-explanatory and easily understood.
  2. There will be Login Messages of the Day and new ways to read them - When a Login Message of the Day is published, mobile users will see a megaphone icon on their login screen. If you have not yet red the notification, an unread indicator will be present on the icon. 
 
We have included some screenshots below for your convenience. These updates are to help keep you more informed about Interior FCU information and easily access your accounts. Visit our website to learn more about our mobile app!
