Dear Valued Member:

Hello and welcome to the USALLIANCE family! As we work towards completing your transition from MEFCU Direct to USALLIANCE Financial, we have made every effort to ensure this process is as seamless as possible.

This page has been created to answer any questions you may have pertaining to this transition and how you and your accounts might be affected. Please take a moment and read through this material prior to our conversion weekend Friday, September 29, 2023 - Sunday, October 1, 2023

Should you have any questions after the conversion on October 1, please reach out to our Member Services team at (800) 431-2754 or via Live Chat at usalliance.org. Our representatives are available weekdays from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM ET and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET. Please note, as we anticipate a higher-than-normal call volume during the week of October 1, we encourage you to utilize our Live Chat service on usalliance.org to communicate directly with a knowledgeable Member Services Representative.

Again, welcome to USALLIANCE. We’re looking forward to providing you with the financial tools you need to live life fully.

Sincerely,

Brett J. Wheeler signature.

Upcoming Changes to Your Account

This important information is being provided to you by USALLIANCE Financial to help guide you through the upcoming changes to your account. These changes are a result of USALLIANCE Financial merging core operating systems with MEFCU Direct.

We ask that you please pay particular attention to the following items as we anticipate they will have the greatest impact on your account relationship with USALLIANCE.

Member and Account Numbers

As part of this transition, you may receive a new USALLIANCE member number as well as unique account numbers for all of your accounts. We have made every effort to preserve your existing member number and account numbers. You will receive a letter containing your member and account information.

Debit Cards

Your replacement Visa® debit cards will arrive in the mail the week of September 18.

Your new card(s) may be activated prior to September 29. Activation directions will be found on a sticker placed on the front of the card. For joint accounts, each debit cardholder will have a unique card number. This is a security measure should one of the cards become lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised. You may continue to use your existing Visa debit cards through September 28. On September 29, please begin using your USALLIANCE Debit Card.

Automatic Debit Payments

Please be sure to update automatic payment information (to merchants such as iTunes, Hulu, Amazon, etc.) from your Visa debit card to your new number on or after September 29 to avoid any service interruptions.

New Routing Number

The Routing number for USALLIANCE is 221981063. Effective October 1 and going forward, please use this number (221981063) when setting up automatic payments.

Direct Deposit

You do not need to make any updates to your direct deposit information before the conversion.

Our systems have been set up to account for this change and will process your direct deposit as usual during conversion weekend. After the conversion, please contact your direct deposit issuers (employer, Social Security, etc.) at your earliest convenience to provide them with your new USALLIANCE account and routing number. Deposits made using your MEFCU account and routing numbers received after October 1 may experience a slight processing delay.

If you receive direct deposits from Social Security, please contact their offices at (800) 772-1213 after October 1 to update your account information.

Automatic Payments

For any automatic payments you may have, you will be required to update your account number(s) and routing number to your new USALLIANCE information on or after October 1.

Effective October 1, 2023, automatic payments using MEFCU account number(s) or routing numbers may result in delayed processing.

Online Banking

MEFCU’s Online Banking platform will no longer be available after September 28. Beginning on October 1, you will have access to USALLIANCE Digital Banking.

To register for Digital Banking, please visit usalliance.org on or after October 1. This process will take less than 5 minutes. We have made every effort to preserve your existing username, but you may be prompted to create a new one upon registration.

Telephone Banking

You may utilize the USALLIANCE telephone banking system, Dial-Up, beginning October 1. For initial access, your default password will be set as the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. Immediately upon access, you will be prompted to change that password to one of your own choosing. Please note that check withdrawals are not available through Dial-Up. You may request a check withdrawal by calling Member Services at (800) 431-2754.
