Traveling Out of the Country?

Notify Diversified Credit Union when you travel outside of the United States at least one week in advance of your departure date. We will need the following information:

  • Where you will be traveling
  • How long you plan to be out of the country, and your return date

This information will be noted on your account and will alert us to transactions that will occur outside your typical spending patterns. Call your local branch to note this information on BOTH your debit and credit cards.

Don’t forget the Perks of DCU Checking!

All checking accounts from Diversified Credit Union are packed with extra benefits for you, including the following:

  • Overdrafts
  • Direct Deposit & ACH
  • Virtual Branch
  • Paper Checks

If you have ever made a mistake in your checking account or written a check for more than the available balance in your account, you are aware of the expenses and problems associated with inadvertent overdrafts. We have two options to help you avoid these.

If you apply and qualify for DCU’s Overdraft Privilege service then your transactions will go through even if your account balance goes negative. (You will still be charged an NSF fee, though.) You can also apply for DCU’s Overdraft Protection service, which automatically transfers funds from your savings account or Line of Credit Loan into your account when you do not have the money to cover all processed checks.

Avoid overdraft fees and their impact on your credit rating! To learn more about these services, call 1-800-333-7757 (toll-free) or email us at Member Services.

Direct Deposit of Payroll, Social Security and Pension Checks is free. You’ll never have to worry about your checks being lost, late, or stolen. Sign up now!

Automated Clearing House (ACH) Payments allow you to automatically pay recurring monthly expenses like your mortgage, utility bills and insurance premiums. There is no charge for this time-saving service. Simply contact the ACH or payment department of the company you want to pay.

Gain instant access to perform most of your banking transactions online whether you’re at work, in your car, or at home in your pajamas at 3am.

Virtual Branch includes features that our members need in today’s digital environment; online banking, electronic bill payment, mobile check deposit, account-to-account transfers, electronic statements, alerts, check reorders, find an ATM and more.

Virtual Branch is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And best of all, there are NO CHARGES for these services! It’s like having your own personal branch at your fingertips!

As paper checks decrease in popularity, their costs are soaring. Most of our checking plans include at least one free box of checks per year. Our carbonless duplicate checks make record keeping a breeze. These checks are of high quality, which reduces potential encoding errors.

If your debit card is lost or stolen, call us at 1-800-528-2273 anytime day or night. For other questions, call 1-800-333-7757 toll-free or send us an email.
