Free bounced check and unlimited stop payment fee waivers
LFCU members enjoy one free "bounced check" fee waiver each year. We understand that mistakes happen, so we're pleased to waive one Courtesy Pay or Non-Sufficient Funds fee for members once every 12 months. This waiver is available to all members in good standing who have a checking account with LFCU. The waiver is automatic - you don't have to ask (unlike other institutions!).
You may also make unlimited free stop payment requests though Online Banking or CU By Phone. This benefit is available on standard checking checks only (Money Market and loan checks do not qualify). Stop payment requests made in person or by calling the call center are subject to standard fees.
Free identity theft prevention resources
Your checking account comes with free access to a group of certified Identity Theft Advocates who will help you every step of the way should your identity ever be stolen. You are also eligible for up to $5,000 in free coverage for expenses incurred to recover from identity theft, such as legal fees, notary fees applicable to affidavits, long distance calls, travel, etc. - all with no deductible. Details will be announced soon.
Relationship Rewards
Your checking account automatically qualifies you for LFCU's unique Relationship Rewards program. Rewards are based on your total balances and include free checks, bonus certificate rates, worldwide free ATM access and more!
Check Card Rewards
All LFCU checking accounts come with a free Visa check card, which gives you convenient purchasing power at over 22 million locations worldwide. Simply swipe your card, sign the receipt, and GO! Plus, you'll earn points toward valuable rewards each time you "sign" for a purchase. Simply enroll your check card in our Visa Extras rewards program -- it's free!
Direct Deposit
Save time and eliminate the risk of lost or stolen checks. Sign up for Direct Deposit to have your paycheck, Social Security or other recurring payments electronically deposited into your LFCU Checking account each payday. You'll save a trip to the branch and your money will be instantly available at any ATM.
