Disclosures

 * To set up direct deposit, you will need to provide your NHFCU account number plus NHFCU’s “routing number” to the originator (for example, your employer’s payroll department) which is:  211380425.

** Members age 50+ receive FREE basic standard wallet checks for life with any NHFCU checking account

*** All checking accounts come with Member Privilege™ which is an Overdraft Privilege Service, but should not be viewed as encouragement to overdraw your account.  Member Privilege™ saves you the embarrassment of “bounced checks” and any associated fees from another financial institution and/or the merchant.  When you don’t have enough money in your checking account, but need to pay a bill, you will find comfort in knowing NHFCU will cover your check if it is within your assigned credit limit.  Remember this is not a line of credit or a loan.  You will not be charged interest on your negative balance; however, you will need to replenish your account within 7 to 10 days. The only fee associated with this account is $27.00 per overdraft paid.  New members must wait 30 days before Member Privilege is activated.

**** Freedom Checking Account holders may apply for Visa cards with required signatures of parents or guardians.  Credit limits of $200 or $500 are imposed on Visa cards issued to Freedom Checking Account holders.  Freedom Checking Account holders are not eligible for the Liberty or Flagship accounts.  Freedom Checking Accounts available for young adults, ages 16-21 (only).

***** Including all NHFCU ATMs, all ATMs on the SUM network (they won’t charge you and neither will we), and all foreign ATMs not on the SUM Network (other institutions may charge you for using their ATMs but we won’t charge you for using their ATMs).  SUM is a registered service mark of and is administered by the NYCE Corporation.
