- Do you have a WFCU debit card? Please be aware that with debit card point-of-sale transactions, some merchants including gas stations and hotels/motels may put a “hold” on your checking account funds. The “hold” can be for the exact amount of the sale or for an amount greater than the transaction amount (ex. $45 in gas = $100 hold amount) and can be in effect for up to 30 days. We have no control over the amount of hold that a merchant submits. But, to assist you in these situations, WFCU will not allow holds longer than three (3) business days.
- Avoid a dormant account fee – make a transaction today! It’s easy to activate a dormant account and avoid the dormant account fee with Welcome Federal Credit Union. Just make a deposit to the account, a withdrawal from the account, or transfer funds between your accounts.
- When making deposits or loan payments by check, be sure to write a note or make a notation on the check to indicate the amounts and accounts (savings and/or loan) where the funds should be deposited.
- Toll-Free and Branch Phone Services – When you phone WFCU, our phones use an automated answering system. The system assists you by providing branch options and services. Once you listen to the options and make your selection, the system will connect you to the appropriate person or department to meet your needs. We’ve recently changed the list of options, therefore it is important that you listen to all of the options stated. If your call is placed in voicemail, please leave us a message so that we can return your call. Under normal circumstances, messages are retrieved throughout the day and are returned as soon as possible, usually within one (1) to two (2) hours.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR WFCU LOANS
On November 6, 2009, President Obama signed H.R. 3606 into law. It’s a technical fix to the Credit CARD Act of 2009, clarifying that the 21-day notice requirement affecting payment due dates applies only to credit card accounts, not all open-end loan accounts.
If you closed an open-end loan with us (includes: all Line of Credit loans except Overdraft Line of Credit loans; Home Equity Line of Credit loans; Disaster loans; PC Equipment loans; Share and Certificate loans; and all Vehicle loans other than Vehicle Equity loans) prior to August 1, 2009, we are in the process of changing your payments, payment frequencies, and due dates to match the terms of your most recent Credit Agreement. (The payments and due dates will be the same as your payroll direct deposit frequency – weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly.) These changes were completed before the end of January 2010.
If you closed one of the above loans between August 31, 2009 and November 30, 2009, please contact us immediately at 1-888-932-8148 to request a change in terms. The agreed terms on your Credit Agreement will show monthly payments due on the 27th of each month.
Purchase a SmartWay® Vehicle And Earn A Discounted Loan Rate!
Thinking about getting a more fuel efficient and eco-friendly vehicle? Go Green with a U. S. Government Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated SmartWay® vehicle and we’ll reward you with a discounted loan rate. The rate discount is based on the vehicle’s EPA designation at the time the loan is granted* and will be applied to the approved loan rate determined by the Credit Union in accordance with our Risk-Based Lending Policy.
The EPA rates vehicles on calculated greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy. The most environmentally friendly vehicles receive a SmartWay® or SmartWay® Elite designation. You’ll be surprised at how many vehicles qualify for the EPA’s SmartWay® rating, not just hybrids and small cars.
- The Green Vehicle Loan offers a 1.00% discounted loan rate on loans with terms up to 48 months and 0.75% discounted loan rate on loans with terms from 49 months up to 84 months for fuel efficient and eco-friendly new and used vehicles** with a SmartWay® or SmartWay® Elite EPA designation.
Vehicles with SmartWay designations are denoted on the following web site with the SmartWay® logos:
http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/Index.do  
Searching for qualifying vehicles is easy! You can search by specific make and model or use the search engine to identify the greenest vehicles on the market. Remember, WFCU will reward you for being environmentally conscientious when you purchase your next vehicle! Call your branch today.
*Vehicles currently financed with Welcome Federal Credit Union can be refinanced if the current equity and new loan advance are at least $500.00.
**Some restrictions apply. If the vehicle is not listed with one of the SmartWay® designations on the EPA website, the discounted rate will not be applied.
Welcome Federal Credit Union is an "Equal Opportunity Lender”.
