Connects FCU is a member of the nationwide Credit Union Service Center network. You can access your account at any of the service centers and perform most transactions. Visit our Service Centers section for more information. You can also use other credit unions’ ATMs that display the CU24/CUHERE logos for withdrawals and deposits (if available).
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. Our Board of Directors are all volunteers and we have other volunteers to help with the operation of the credit union. These factors keep our expenses lower and we pass the savings on to our members in the form of dividends, lower loan rates and services.
Changing the name of C&P Telephone Employees Federal Credit Union has been an issue since The C&P Telephone Company was merged with its parent company Bell Atlantic. However, in 1998, new legislation allowed credit unions to grow by adding new companies into their field of membership, thus becoming more diversified. The Board of Directors saw greater importance in changing the credit union name to a name with broader appeal. The credit union will always recognize its roots with C&P Telephone and the communications industry.
Immediately. However, depending upon the item you present, there may be a hold placed on the funds for a limited time as allowed by law. Also deposits to the ATM have a 24 hour hold to allow for machine balancing and verifications.
Connects FCU has first and second mortgages available. Personal, consistent service and trust are the foundations of our mortgage offerings. Whether a first time home or looking to refinance, you have connections. The loan department is waiting to quickly and expertly handle your mortgage needs with the friendly, personal service you deserve.
Our goal at Connects Federal Credit Union is to place you in the best financial position possible. Our lending process is designed to be expedient, thorough and beneficial. We look at your income, compare it to your debts and along with your credit history, determine your loan options. We calculate a “debt-to-income” ratio ($monthly debts ÷ $monthly income) to determine that you can reasonably afford the loan. The debt-to-income ratio should not exceed 45%. With an acceptable ratio, good credit and a steady source of income you should be able to borrow what you need.
