 | We just got orders to PCS (permanent change of station) to Europe, can I have an ATM and VCC incase one stops working and I have to wait for ever to get a new one? |
| In the event your card stops working or is lost you can contact us and we will get a new card issued to you quickly. You will always have access to your money regardless which overseas duty station you reside. We offer Shared Branching with affiliated credit unions overseas, SCU and Andrews just to start; you can access funds up to $500.00 per day in those institutions just as if you were here in person. |
| I'm going TDY (temporary duty station), for 3 months how do I access my money and balances without an ATM fee? |
| To avoid fees when needing a balance inquiry sign up for online banking, this will give you instant access to your balances, bill pay, etc. To avoid fees on withdrawals with the VCC, when doing transactions in stores, use the cash back option, some institutions will let you get up to $60.00 cash back. |
| If I am deployed can my partner access my account with my permission, even if they aren't on the account? |
| Unfortunately due to privacy acts unless your partner is on your account we would not be able to give them info on your account. They could however make payments and deposits into your account/loans, the balances would however be restricted. |
| If not what do I need to do to give them access? |
| Add them to the account before you deploy or get a POA for them authorizing them to access your account. Please be careful on the POA you choose to give them, some have limitations. |
| I am getting extra money now that I am deployed, what's the best way to earn interest on it? |
| This would depend on if you are looking for long term or short term investments. If short term we have excellent rates on CD's which range any where form a 90 day thru 5yr plan. If you are looking for a long term investment or college, etc, you may want to meet or contact one of our staff at Member Financial Services, (numbers and info available under links, which you would put on the web site link for military), no matter what plan you are interested in we can help you achieve financial success. |
