MasterMoney™ Debit Card
Along with your checking account, you can apply for a MasterMoney™ Debit Card. It works just like a credit card, except your purchases are automatically subtracted from your checking account.
You get all the conveniences of a credit card, but without the interest charges. Plus, it’s nice to know you can access your funds any time at ATMs and merchants without carrying a checkbook.
Once you receive an ECFCU MasterMoney Debit card you will receive a personal identification number (PIN) in a seperate mailing a few days later.
When using your ECFCU MasterMoney Debit Card, please use it as a "debit" and use your PIN. ECFCU DOES NOT charge to use your card as a debit. ECFCU recommends that you use your card as a safer means to protecting your money.

Weatherproof Your Federal Benefit Payments with Direct Deposit
Source: U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service
The United States is the most severe weather-prone country on Earth according to the National Weather Service. If you receive Social Security or other federal benefit payments by paper check, you should know that when severe weather strikes, evacuations and mail disruptions can prevent you from getting your money on time.
Ensuring you get your money in the most reliable way is one reason why the U.S. Department of the Treasury has begun its move toward all-electronic federal benefit payments. When you apply for federal benefits, you will now receive your federal benefit payments electronically from day one. If you receive paper federal benefit checks, you must switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013.
Making the switch to direct deposit is fast, easy and free. Your federal benefit payment will go straight into your checking or savings account on payment day each month. To make the switch, visit Erie Community Federal Credit Union or sign up online at www.GoDirect.org.
A paper check is no match for a natural disaster. Take action today!
