CD Maturity and Rollovers

A Certificate of Deposit, or CD, is a special type of savings account that holds your money for a specific amount of time with an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) that is typically higher than a standard Savings account. A main difference with a CD is that, typically, a withdrawal during the term will incur a penalty.

When the CD reaches the end of its specific term (example: 36 months), the CD “matures.” Starting on the date of maturity, you have 10 days to withdraw, move or create a new CD without penalty. This is called a “grace period.”

If you do not act within the grace period, the CD will roll over and lock into a new CD. This new CD will keep the same term as the previous CD, but the rate will be adjusted to reflect the current rate offered by Consumers Credit Union. This rate may be lower or higher than your previous rate.

Change Account Order

In online banking your can customize your dashboard including changing the order of your accounts. Click here to learn how.

Christmas Savings

Christmas Savings accounts make budgeting for next year’s holiday expenses easier. Make saving automatic by setting up recurring transfers and be worry-free next holiday season. You can access your Christmas Savings between October 1 and December 31 via Online Banking for your shopping convenience.

Set up you Christmas Savings account online, stop by an office, or give us a call at 800.991.2221.

Courtesy Pay Fee

Courtesy Pay taps into your Overdraft Privilege and overdraws your account to pay items that would otherwise be returned. A Courtesy Pay Fee is assessed for each transaction in which this happens.

We may refuse Courtesy Pay for any item that is beyond your Overdraft Privilege limit.

Courtesy Pay Fees can be avoided by monitoring your accounts and ensuring you have funds available when making purchases.

Please see our Schedule of Fees for our current Courtesy Pay Fee amount.

Debit Holds/Pending Transactions

When you make a purchase with your debit card, a hold is placed on the funds. This is called a “pending transaction.”  The transaction “posts” when the funds are moved from your account to the accounts of the merchant.

When a transaction posts to your account the system will consider your available balance. If the available balance (current balance less pending transactions) is negative, a fee may be assessed and the item may or may not be paid, dependent upon Overdraft Protection, account history, and Overdraft Privilege settings.  For more information, please visit an office or call our Member Service Center at 800.991.2221.

eStatements

eStatements offer an extra layer of security and convenience.  With eStatements, your monthly statement is saved within Online Banking. You will receive an email each month when your statement is ready. Best of all, eStatements are free!

Cashier's Check

A cashier's check is unlike a regular check because the financial institution guarantees payment instead of the check writer. They are ideal for large purchases when you can't use a credit or debit card.

To get a cashier's check please stop by any of our office locations! Fees may apply.

Depositing Coins

To deposit large amounts of coin, you can either roll it and bring it into an office or use one of our coin machines located at our Centre, Corner@Drake, and South Haven offices for a 5% convenience fee (proceeds go to the Consumers Scholars program).

Document Shredding

Each of our office locations offers complimentary document shredding services to our members. Simply place your documents into the locked bin and a Data Guardian shred truck will come to securely destroy the contents.

Repayment Plan

A Repayment Plan can offer relief from having to pay back the entire overdrawn balance of your checking account at one time. When establishing a Repayment Plan, your overdrawn checking balance, up to $750*, is set aside to be repaid over four monthly installments that begin one month after the account is established. This allows your checking account to be reset to a $0 balance.

You may start a Repayment Plan through stopping in at an office or calling our Member Service Center at 800.991.2221.

*Your limit may be lower.

Savings Bond

To redeem a U.S. Savings Bond, please visit one of our offices. You will need:

  • Your U.S. Savings Bond
  • A picture ID
  • SSN (social security number)

 

Sending and Receiving Domestic Wire Transfers

A domestic wire transfer is a direct electronic transfer of funds between two accounts at different financial institutions based in the United States. You’ll need some extra information when working with a wire transfer, and we’ve outlined it for you below!

When sending a domestic wire transfer, you will need the following information from the recipient:

  • Their Financial Institution’s Information:
    • Name
    • Address
    • Routing Number
  • Their Account Information
    • Name on the account (as Beneficiary of the wire transfer)
    • Account type: Checking or Savings
    • Account number

When receiving a domestic wire transfer, you’ll need to give the sender this information:

  • Consumers Credit Union’s Information:
    • Name: Consumers Credit Union
    • Address: 7200 Elm Valley Drive, Kalamazoo, MI 49009
    • Routing Number: 272481839
  • Your Account information:
    • Name on the account
    • Account type: Checking or Savings
    • Account number

Domestic wire transfers typically take one business day, but it’s dependent upon when you send the wire as financial institutions have “cut off” times. After the “cut off” time, a wire transfer will not be sent until the following business day. (Weekends and holidays don’t count!)

Please see our Schedule of Fees for a list of wire transfer fees.
