 U.S. SAVINGS BONDS HAVE GONE PAPERLESS

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced it will end over-the-counter purchase of paper savings bonds as of December 31, 2011.  This includes sales of savings bonds through financial institutions and applications mailed directly to the Federal Reserve Bank by customers.  You can purchase electronic savings bonds online through TreasuryDirect® at www.treasurydirect.gov.

Individuals currently holding paper savings bonds can continue to redeem Series EE and I Savings Bonds at the Credit Union.

KEEP US INFORMED

It is important that you keep us informed of your correct phone number and address at all times.  Address changes received from the post office do not update your phone number.  When changing your address or phone number, please send us a letter with your signature authorizing us to update your records.

To protect your account, your debit card, credit card, audio response and telephone teller transactions are monitored for potentially fraudulent activity such as a sudden change in locale or a sudden string of costly purchases.  If we suspect fraudulent activity, we will call you to validate the legitimacy of your transactions.  However, our call is only to ask you to verify recent transaction activity on your card.  We will not ask for your card or account number, PIN number, password or any other personal identifying information.  
If you are traveling out of the country and plan to use your debit or credit card, please notify us so we can unblock the card.  Our goal is to minimize your exposure to risk and the impact of any fraud.

If you have any questions, including the legitimacy of any phone calls concerning your Americo FCU account, debit card and credit cards, please call us at either (814) 899-6608 or (814) 833-0433.

Notice of Changes in Temporary NCUA Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts:
All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the National Credit Union Administration through December 31, 2012.  This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from the coverage of at least $250,000 available to members under the NCUA's general share insurance rules. 

The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional share draft account (or demand deposit account) on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend.  It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends, a negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") account, money market deposit account, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Account ("IOLTA"), even if share drafts may be drawn on the account.  For more information about temporary NCUA insurance coverage of transaction account, visit www.ncua.gov.
