Member Benefits
ATM Cards
Your credit union is always with you, anytime or anyplace you need financial services involving instant cash. You can use your NCACU ATM card at any ATM machine with the NYCE Co-op or Cirrus logos nationwide. Transactions are free at ATM’s displaying the Co-op Logo. ATM's are located at all branch locations and are free when using and NCACU ATM card. Apply for your ATM card today; start by downloading the ATM card application.
Debit Visa Cards
The Debit Card works like a check allowing you to purchase items worldwide. Unlike a credit card that acts like a loan, a debit card accesses your checking account directly. Present your NCACU debit card to make a purchase anywhere in the country that offers VISA and the transaction will clear your checking account directly as if you have written a check. There are no fees and the card is accepted by merchants around the world.
Visa Credit Cards
NCACU has two credit card options. Our Visa Classic at 12.90 % and Visa Gold at 10.90% are available to all members depending on qualifications and credit records. There is no annual fee with either card.
Use your debit card the same way you use your Visa card without any monthly interest expense.

Direct deposit is the best way to get your payments. It’s safer and easier, and it gives you more control over your money than a payroll or mailed check.

Christmas Club
A Christmas Club Account is a good way to save for the holidays, as well as other year-end expenses, such as house insurance, tuition, and taxes. It's easy to apply for a club account, just stop in at any branch office for more information.
Deposits can be made at your convenience, whether you're doing It's Me 247 online banking, CU*Talk phone service or visiting a branch. With direct deposit or payroll deduction, it's easy to maintain the Christmas Club account. The money can be automatically transferred into your Christmas Club at each payroll period. Contact your employer to arrange to set up the direct deposit service. Your Christmas club money will rollover into your savings account annually on the first of November.
You can open your Christmas Club account anytime of the year, but why wait?
Courtesy Pay
Courtesy Pay protects you from the embarrassment of returned checks, and merchant returned checks. Courtesy Pay is a service that allows us to pay an item presented against your checking account even if it causes the account to become overdrawn. The system allows you to draw up to $500 over your account balance; a $28 overdraft fee will be included into this amount. The member is then given 30 days to bring their balance current. If additional checks are written when the balance is deficient an additional fee of $28 will apply. To qualify for Courtesy Pay your account has to be open for at least 60 days and maintain a good standing with the credit union. For more information on Courtesy Pay contact your local NCACU branch.

Notary Services
Notary Services are available free of charge to NCACU members at all our branch locations. Non-members can purchase this service for $5.00.
Overdraft Protection
NCACU's overdraft protection is a service that has a very simple form to sign and allows the credit union to automatically pull money from a savings account to pay an overdraft from a checking account. This keeps checking accounts from having a non-sufficient fund fee. The charge for this protection is $2.00 per overdraft.
The overdraft reimbursement option is when you actually apply for a revolving loan to cover an insufficient balance in your checking account. This requires a credit score above 600, income verification, credit report and a signed contract just like a regular unsecured loan. This loan usually has a high interest attached and may be subject to service charges.
