ATM Cards
Your credit union is always with you, anytime or anyplace you need financial services involving instant cash. You can use your NCACU ATM card at any ATM with the NYCE Co-op or Cirrus logos nationwide. Transactions are free at ATMs displaying the Co-op logo. ATMs are located at most branch locations and are free when using an NCACU ATM card. Apply for your ATM card today; start by downloading the ATM card application ATM Application and Opt-In Form. If you already have our Debit Card, you do not need an ATM Card. Your Debit card is ATM-ready!
MasterCard Debit
The Debit Card works like a check allowing you to purchase items worldwide. Unlike a credit card that acts like a loan, a debit card accesses your checking account directly. Present your NCACU debit card to make a purchase anywhere in the country that offers MasterCard and the transaction will clear your checking account directly as if you have written a check. There are no fees and the card is accepted by merchants around the world. Apply now by printing and completing our Debit Card Application and Opt-In Form.
Register With Secure Code
NCACU members carrying MasterCards are advised to register with MasterCard SecureCode. MasterCard SecureCode is a private code for your MasterCard account that gives you an additional layer of online shopping security. Only you know what your code is – retailers aren’t able to see it, so you can trust that your transactions get your approval every time. Secure Code is driven by online merchants. Not all online companies utilize it, but the ones that do require the MasterCard cardholder to be enrolled in SecureCode and will deny a transaction without it. It really is just an extra level of security provided by these online companies and MasterCard. Visit this website to enroll today: http://www.mastercardsecurecode.com Remember as you get ready to shop for the holidays—some merchants will require that your card is enrolled in this program and will deny MasterCard purchases if you are not enrolled.
Visa Credit Cards
NCACU has two credit card options. Our Visa Classic at 12.90 % APR* and Visa Gold at 10.90% APR*are available to all members depending on qualifications and credit records. There is no annual fee with either card. Don’t have an NCACU Visa yet? Download the Visa Classic Credit Card Agreement or the Visa Gold Credit Card Agreement for more information.

Courtesy Pay
Courtesy Pay protects you from the embarrassment of returned checks, and merchant returned checks. Courtesy Pay is a service that allows us to pay an item presented against your checking account even if it causes the account to become overdrawn. The system allows you to draw up to $500 over your account balance; a $30 overdraft fee will be included in this amount. The member is then given 30 days to bring their balance current. If additional checks are written when the balance is deficient an additional fee of $30 will apply. To qualify for Courtesy Pay your account has to be open for at least 60 days with the credit union. For more information on Courtesy Pay contact your local NCACU branch.
Free Financial Advising
When times are hard or when you just need to ask some questions, NCACU offers free financial advising. We urge all our members to explore their financial health, by making an appointment with their local branches. For help, call your local branch to make an appointment.
If you are interested in retirement plans or investment opportunities, ask your member service specialist to make an appointment with our investment advisor.

Overdraft Protection
NCACU’s overdraft protection is a service that allows the credit union to automatically pull money from a savings account to pay an overdraft from a checking account. This keeps checking accounts from having a non-sufficient fund fee. The charge for this protection is $5.00 per overdraft.
The overdraft reimbursement option is when you actually apply for a revolving loan to cover an insufficient balance in your checking account. This service has credit score requirements, income verification, credit report, and a signed contract just like a regular unsecured loan. This loan usually has a high interest rate attached and may be subject to service charges.
