    • It will cover $400 twice a year.
    • Simply ask your employer to set it up for you today. You’ll need your account number and Elevate Credit Union’s routing number: 324376818. Keep in mind that the name on the payment transferred must match the name on your account. Contact us if you have further questions or need assistance setting up Direct Deposit!
    • Yes! 55+ members with a checking account are eligible to receive up to two free boxes of checks per year.
    • You will get 12 free counter checks when you open a Checking Account with a balance of $100 or greater. Members that are 55+ can get up to two free boxes of checks per year, one box at a time. Additional checks can be purchased by contacting us.
    • You can turn off lost or stolen cards in our mobile app so that no one can use them. If you find your card again, you can turn it back on to continue to use it. If you don't have the mobile app or know that your card has been stolen, you can report it online or call us at 1-800-682-6075.    
    • If you overdraw on your checking, we may cover the amount charged anyway, saving you from the embarrassment and frustration of a declined card. A $25 fee is assessed for this service, but you may save money on bounced checks and merchant fees. If there are available funds in the member’s savings account, the funds will be transferred to checking before Courtesy Pay occurs. Courtesy Pay is for accounts in good standing, has a maximum coverage amount of $600, and may not become effective for the first 90 days of a new account.
    • Overdraft Protection is a line of credit that's linked directly to your account. If you overdraw on your checking, it steps up to cover the costs—so that you don't have to pay hefty insufficient funds fees. From there, it works like a simple loan from Elevate. Pay it off right away to avoid interest, or as you can for a low rate. To opt in to Overdraft Protection, contact us at any time.
