Prepaid Reloadable Debit Cards
Through the CUMONEY program, prepaid reloadable debit cards carry the VISA logo on the front of the card and cardholders can add value to the card at anytime. In addition to the 20 million VISA locations worldwide, the reloadable cards also work at ATMs and merchants anywhere you see the Plus or Interlink (pinned based pos) networks. Under this program the credit union has no liability and no fraud exposure. The card can be branded with the credit union logo. Even if the credit union does not offer share drafts, you can offer your members CUMONEY. It is also a good alternative for members that do not qualify for a debit card.

Visa Gift Cards

Cards are shipped to the credit union inactive and have a two-year expiration date on them. When a member purchases a card, you simply go to a secured internet site and activate the card by loading a dollar value of the card purchased. Members can start using the card within a 24-hour time period, and your corporate account will be settled the following day for that dollar amount. No accounting entries to worry about!

Overdraft Privilege Program
Overdraft Privilege is a service that can help members who overdraw their transaction account. Overdraft privilege is subject to preset dollar limits and certain other conditions. Your credit union continues to collect the customary fee for each overdraft item, while protecting your members from the credit bureau problems, merchant fees, and potential embarrassment associated with returned checks and ACH items.
Importantly, by providing a safety net for your members, your credit union may also save them from having to seek extra funds from friends, family, or not so benign sources. Overdraft privilege offers your members overdraft coverage without a binding obligation between the credit union and the member. Your organization retains all rights and privileges to pay or return checks.
Benefits:
- Easy implementation
- Strengthens member satisfaction
- Increases fee income to credit union

CO-OP Shared Branching Program
Few credit unions, regardless of size, have the resources necessary to open and operate enough of their own branch offices to adequately serve their current members and potential members. The CO-OP Shared Branching Program is designed to overcome this by developing a nationwide network of shared branches to provide service more efficiently to all credit unions members. The shared branch locations are electronically linked allowing members of participating credit unions to use any shared branch location in the network to conduct business as if they were at a branch of their own credit union. A credit union with an under-utilized branch office may open one or all of its locations as an “Outlet” to serve members of participating credit unions while reducing their overhead costs of operations.
