Notice: incorrect address fee

As of July 1, 2010, a $5.00 monthly fee will be charged to any account that has an American 1 Federal Credit Union mailing returned to the credit union because of an incorrect address. 

An account will be flagged when a mailing is returned and the member will have 30 days to update the address before the fee will be imposed. Once the member submits a proper change of address, the account will no longer be charged the incorrect address fee. If the monthly incorrect address fee charged takes the account to a zero balance, the account will be closed.

The above picture is a small example of the amount of mail we get returned to the credit union because of incorrect information.  Because of out-of-date addresses, too much postage and paper are wasted.

On your next branch visit, make sure we have your up-to-date address, phone number, and e-mail address on file.  Or contact us and make sure your information is up to date.  As always, the best option is signing up for e-statements - that way, your monthly statements and notices are e-mailed to you, helping us to reduce waste.

Your money is safe with American 1

Thanks to the National Credit Union Administration, your deposits are now insured up to $250,000.  Much like the FDIC for banks, the NCUA is a federal agency that insures your deposits and retirement accounts.  Should something happen, your deposits are protected. 

American 1 is in sound financial shape.  We are still active in our community, able to provide loan rebates to our members, and growing in membership.  We’re not going anywhere.  If you have any questions about how the NCUA protects your funds, visit the NCUA's web site — or visit an American 1 branch and we’ll answer your questions.

Here are some tools and resources to help you figure out why your money is safe.

NCUA Toolkit - Good information from the National Credit Union Administration on the safety of credit unions.

NCUA Share Insurance Estimator - Helps calculate your NCUSIF deposit and retirement insurance coverage.
