Unbank Checking

It goes against everything you ever thought about checking.
It’s all part of Unbanking with Connex:

Save money with a high dividend rate on Unbank Checking account
balances up to $25,000
Save more money with a $500 mortgage closing rebate
Save even more money with rebates, up to $20, on foreign ATM
transactions (Connex and Allpoint ATMs are free for members)
Have peace of mind with quarterly Smart Score credit score range
Enjoy free, convenient Connex electronic and convenience services

To qualify for Unbank Checking, just use these Connex services during the month:

e-Statements
Online Banking
Debit Card – make 12 transactions per month
Direct Deposit or ACH (electronic funds transfer payment)

If you meet all the monthly qualifications you earn a very unbank-like high dividend rate* on the first $25,000 in your Unbank Checking account. How many banks offer checking accounts like that?

If you meet all the monthly qualifications and have an account balance over $25,000, you earn a second-tier rate,* lower than the Unbank Checking rate but higher than the regular checking rate, but only for the part of your balance over $25,000.

If you do not meet the monthly requirements at all during one month, you earn the regular checking rate* for that month, regardless of your account balance. And there is no service charge at all!

We know you’re surprised at how much more you get with Unbank Checking. Stop by a Connex branch today and open account today!

Smart Score

Connex is offering this FREE innovative service to members who have an Unbank Checking or Your Choice Checking Account. Each quarter our Smart Score program will provide members with their current credit score range, as reported by TransUnion, a leading credit reporting agency. Included will be information explaining what a credit score is, who uses it, the factors that determine a credit score and why it is important.

The Smart Score program is designed to be a learning tool to help members understand the impact of credit scores and what steps they can take to improve and protect their score.

If you would like to switch to Unbank Checking or Your Choice Checking and benefit from this FREE service, contact a Member Service Representative at 1-800-CR-UNION or stop by a branch office.

NCUA Share Insurance Coverage

NCUA Share Insurance Coverage
Connex Credit Union member deposits are insured by the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration), which is the federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA also operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S government, NCUSIF insures the accounts of millions of members in all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state-chartered credit unions. Due to recent legislation, insurance for each member's deposits has been increased from $100,000 to $250,000 per account.

The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, signed into law on May 20, 2009, continues this increased level of insurance coverage on all accounts of up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013. Members are advised to review their accounts periodically and whenever they open new accounts or modify existing accounts to ensure that all of their funds continue to be insured. Also, there are ways to increase your insurance coverage.
