Over 5,000 Natco Members Will Receive Their Stimulus Deposit Tomorrow

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We will be open Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will be ready to serve you.

Here are a few useful tips.

  • Expect longer than normal delays at our drive ups over the next several days
  • Our call center is receiving an extremely high call volume right now. Verify your deposit tomorrow using our mobile banking app, home banking or PAL.
  • If you need cash, use our ATM during non-business hours to make withdrawals (up to $500 per day)

Plan ahead and give yourself some comfort by putting these funds to the best use possible.

  • Anticipate upcoming expenses. Leave as much on deposit as you can to cover expenses for the next few months – groceries, mortgage/rent, utilities, car payments, insurance, healthcare and other basic needs
  • Pay these expenses in advance when possible

Talk to us about opening a special savings account to set aside your stimulus check. This way it’s separate from your other funds and can be used over the next few months.

If you would like help budgeting your stimulus check, call the NCEC at 983-4766.

Stimulus Checks Begin Arriving This Week

Members will begin receiving their government stimulus checks this week. This has caused an abnormally high call volume for Natco’s call center.

If your deposit is in the first round of deposits, it will be posted this Wednesday (4/15). Please check your account Wednesday morning using your mobile banking app, home banking, or PAL to verify if your check has been deposited.

If your deposit is not part of this Wednesday’s file, the EARLIEST it will be deposited is next Wednesday (4/22). Please check your account on 4/22 to see if your deposit was posted.

We will post the files each Wednesday in for the next several weeks.

Eligible taxpayers who electronically filed their taxes in 2018 or 2019 will receive their deposit automatically through direct deposit into the account used for their previous tax filing.

The purpose of the stimulus money is to provide emergency assistance to individuals and families who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, so Natco Credit Union WILL NOT be applying these stimulus funds to overdrawn accounts, delinquent accounts, garnishments.  

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service launched a new web tool allowing quick registration for stimulus payments for those who don’t normally file a tax return.

According to the IRS, the Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal in the coming weeks for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online. This will allow individuals to receive payments immediately as opposed to checks being mailed.

The IRS has provided important information regarding the stimulus checks on this page – Economic Impact Payments What You Need to Know.

Stay Safe, Leave Your Money in Place

We know that a lot of people are worried about a number of things right now. Natco Credit Union wants to assure you that one thing you shouldn’t worry about is the money you have saved. The credit union will always make sure you have full access to your account, but we also want you and your savings to be safe.

Here are a few reasons to leave your money in your account:

  • Your money is insured when it’s in the credit union. Natco Credit Union’s accounts are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration up to $250,000 per account holder.
  • No risk of losing the money. With your money in your account, you always know exactly where it is. When you take money out, there’s a chance that it will be lost or stolen.
  • Money is covered in germs and bacteria. According to NYU’s Dirty Money Project, up to 3,000 different kinds of bacteria can live on a $1 bill. Instead, use your debit or credit cards, which can be cleaned with sanitary wipes. Contact us to request a Natco debit card or apply for a Natco REAL FREEDOM Visa card.

During this trying time, we want to make sure you’re protected. Check out our Quick Reference Guide for transacting business. Please, keep yourself and the money you’ve worked so hard to earn safe.
