Please note: the ATM owner may charge a fee. Using your debit card to get cash back with purchases can help you save on ATM fees. Rebates will be given automatically at month-end.

Your shares are insured up to at least $250,000 through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) just like the deposit insurance protection offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). NCUA is a well-respected federal agency backed by the full faith of the Federal Government. No credit union member has ever lost a penny of insured funds in the entire history of NCUA.

Several options are available for additional share insurance coverage for members with more than $250,000. This NCUA brochure gives an overview. You can learn more about NCUA share insurance online and by using NCUA’s share insurance estimator. Please call Member Services at 800-268-6928 for assistance and to discuss your specific needs.

You can transfer cash to your family members safely and securely with any of our convenient options:

  • Bill Payer: Add someone as a payee and send money through Bill Payer (link to BP). Click here for a How-To video.
  • Zelle®: send money to friends and family from your checking account to theirs right from within Digital Banking.
  • Cross account transfers: Transfer between your Credit Union account and another member’s account on which you are the primary or a joint account owner. This will also allow you to view the other account within your Digital Banking. To set up cross account transfer access please complete and submit the Cross Account Transfer form
  • One-time transfer to another DECU member account: See the FAQ for “one-time transfers to another DECU member”.

Yes! If the joint owner is an adult, they will need to sign the application and submit a copy of their driver’s license. We recommend getting your account setup first if the joint owner can’t sign right away, and then adding the joint owner later when you can both sign the application  (an application to add services will be in your Welcome Packet). Parents may sign for a minor to be a joint owner (parent’s name “signing for” child’s name plus parent’s signature).
