E-Services = Convenience
Looking to save time and hassle? UCCU has the answer to help you
maximize your time with our electronic services. E-services are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you can manage your
credit union finances when you have the time.
Our website, www.unitedchurchescu.org is a safe and secure way to monitor
your credit union accounts. With our home banking services you can
take care of virtually all the transactions you would have to come to the
credit union for, such as: transferring funds, verifying cleared checks or
even making loan payments. You can also apply for a loan.
In addition, we also offer you the option of receiving your credit union
statement via e-mail instead of postal mail. This option is not only safer
than regular mail, but you will also receive your statement faster, and
are able to save it safely on your home computer, eliminating the
possibility of it getting lost at home.
Our E-services can help improve the efficiency and timeliness of your
credit union affairs. Find out more about our online services by logging
