Credit Union COVID-19 Response

As we are all members of this community, we are equally affected by this pandemic. Due to the constantly changing situation, here is what Interior FCU has done in response.

  • We are currently offering 9 Member Assistance Programs. (we mention these in the previous article.)
  • If you have mailed a payment in, please rest assured that we will make sure to effective date your payments to the postmarked date so you will not incur late fees. A word of advice, if you need to deposit checks or make loan payments, take advantage of our mobile app or online banking.
  • If you have a VISA payment, please mail them here: PO Box 37035, Boone, IA 50037-0035.
  • In an effort to comply with the CDC recommendations for safety, the majority of our staff is teleworking. If you need to meet with a branch staff member, please make an appointment. Contact us via our website or call 800.914.8619.

TurboTax Member Benefit

Did you know that as a credit union member you are eligible to use TurboTax at a discounted rate?

If you have used TurboTax online in the past, then all your previous returns are saved. By using TurboTax, members also have access to experts to answer any tax related questions. What are you waiting for? Get started on your taxes today!

Remember! The tax deadline has now been extended to Wednesday, July 15th!

Get up to $1000 per day from an ATM

To assist our member we have increased the ATM withdrawal limit to $1000. You will initially be able to withdraw $600, but then you are able to make another ATM transaction and withdraw an additional $400. We did this in an effort to help members through the COVID-19 pandemic. Did you know that we have over 5,600 branches nationwide and 55,000 ATMs as part of the Shared Branch Network? As a member, you have access to all of these surcharge-free. There are many credit unions that participate in this Shared Branching Network, so you may find that the location closest to you does not say “Interior Federal Credit Union” on it, but you are still able to conduct business there as if it did. We want our members to feel like they always have access to their finances, so simply enter your zip code into the Branch/ATM locator on our Home Page or mobile app, and you’ll find the nearest location to withdraw or deposit cash at an ATM or drop in to a Credit Union branch to perform that transaction in person. Just tell them you are an Interior FCU member, and they can make the deposit/withdrawal to your account with us. It’s all part of the cooperative nature of credit unions.

Update Your Email Address

It’s so important that we can communicate with you. Especially for important account notifications (like COVID-19 updates), we need to know how to reach you fast. We can only do that if we have your correct email address. Please make sure your email is up-to-date. Log on to Online Banking/My Settings to update your email.

Due to COVID-19, we had to reschedule our Annual Meeting. That date is to be determined, but we wanted to make sure our members were aware that we would still hold the meeting in 2020.
