East Side ATM Has a New Look

A new card reader was installed on the ATM at our East side office.

We wanted to share a photo of how it looks now to make everyone aware and avoid any concern that a skimming device might have been installed. The credit union made this upgrade.

A Visit From Senator Raatz

Thank you to Senator Raatz for spending the morning of August 24th with credit union representatives. During our meeting, we were able to give him our perspective about our community.

We shared details of our FREEDOM FAST loan which is an payday loan alternative. The loan structure helps people get out of the debt cycle or it can be a great solution for someone who is one mishap away from poverty.

We really appreciate that Senator Raatz took the time to learn more about our community and how our credit unions make a difference!

Working Hard To Make Sure Congress Says No To Banks and Yes To Consumers On This Issue

An important distinction between credit unions and banks is that credit unions are consumer-owned cooperatives. The cooperative structure and mission of credit unions means that different tax laws apply. The banking industry continually looks for opportunities to introduce legislation that would impose new taxes on credit unions.

Learn more about the impact new tax laws could have and how credit unions are the best alternative for consumers from John McKenzie, President of the Indiana Credit Union League.

Never Give Your Debit Card Number Out To Someone Who Calls You – Even If It Looks Like The Call Is Coming From Us!

Recently some members have received calls from someone stating they were from the Natco Credit Union Fraud Department. They say they want to verify a $300 debit card transaction in Florida and they give the last 4 digits of the debit card. The caller asks the member to provide the full debit card number to verify the transaction and close the card.

The call appears to be from our main number. We’ve contacted Comcast and were told people can spoof a phone number so the caller thinks it’s from a valid business/person. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop this kind of deception.

Because we have your card information on file, we will never call and ask you to provide it to us. If you’ve received this kind of call and given your debit card information, please contact us immediately so we can deactivate your debit card and order you a new one.

Our Auto Buying Program Puts Another Member Behind the Wheel

When a great deal presented itself, one member decided to jump on it quickly!

Enterprise Car Sales brought a 2017 Chevy Cruze at our East side office on June 27th. The car had 51k miles and was priced at just $13,799. We posted the information to our Facebook page to help spread the word. Even though Natalie wasn’t in the market for a vehicle, she had already driven other Chevy Cruzes and new she loved them. In less than 24 hours, she purchased this one and drove home in her new car! We are so excited that we could help put her behind the wheel of a newer model, reliable vehicle.

Recycled Plastic Bottle Caps Put to Good Use

Have you ever thought about what could be made from recycled plastic bottle caps? We have!

It takes approximately 25,743 plastic bottle caps to make one of these benches! Recently, we donated 40 pounds of plastic bottle caps to help in making 5 new benches.

Thank you to the Centerville Green Club and Cope Environmental Center for making these great benches from recycled materials.
