MEFCU credit cards will convert to USALLIANCE in March 2024. We will transfer all your points to your new USALLIANCE credit card at that time.

One difference is that, currently, MEFCU reward points DO NOT expire and USALLIANCE reward points expire after three years. Once the points are converted in March 2024, all rewards points will expire after three years. Members will be informed of any additional changes as the credit card conversion date approaches.

Please contact your direct deposit issuers (employer, pension, etc.) to provide them with your new USALLIANCE account and routing number (221981063) effective October 1. All deposits made using your MEFCU account and routing numbers received after October 1 may experience a processing delay.
