You can now order a complimentary first box of checks through Digital Banking, by visiting a branch, or calling our contact center at (800) 322-7228.

Other Details
Your credit union will still be member-owned, and your accounts will still be insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
Account, cards and loan terms may change depending on account type, since they’ll be converted to Affinity Plus accounts.
