Quicker Answers & Quicker Response Times (back to top)

Over the past few years, Police FCU has gradually introduced new technologies such as online banking, online bill pay, Audio Response and an upgraded website to provide members the convenience of accessing their accounts and other credit union information quickly, 24/7. In a continued effort to provide the membership with quick solutions and responses, when looking for basic account information - balance inquires, transfers, loan payments, direct deposit confirmation, account history, etc…, we encourage members to take advantage of the online conveniences, as this type of information can be obtained quickly and easily through secure online banking, Audio Response, or the website, in lieu of calling the call center. When members use the convenient online services and Audio Response for basic inquiries, it makes for considerably shorter wait times on the phones, and allows members with more in-depth inquiries to get through faster and get quicker responses and resolutions. It’s a win, win.

Sub Accounts – Saving Made Easier (back to top)

For the times when you want to save or set money aside for a particular purpose, such as a vacation, education, taxes, a special event, or simply your quarterly bills, we can help with our sub share savings. Instead of having to open a new, separate account, you will soon be able to open a sub-account. This way, you can have a separate place within your regular savings account to save money, and everything is on one statement. There is no minimum balance required to open or maintain a sub account, and it is a great way to get more control over your savings.

Watch your email and visit our website for updates and availability.
