Great Rates for President's Day Auto Loans

We're offering exceptionally low rates for new and used auto loans for as low as 1.99% APR.  An example is a used car for 48 months for an individual with B credit ( credit score 640-679) has an APR of 3.25% *.  Better credit score, better rate but even blemished credit with a score of at least 550 will get an APR of 7.99% for 48 months.  Offer will expire at the end of the month.  Stop in, call or apply on line through our web site to take advantage of this President's Day Loan Sale. For other great car loan rates please call the Credit Union and ask for Julie, our loan officer. 

*APR is the Annual Percentage Rate.  In the example above, a 48 month 3.25% loan will require a monthly payment of $223.00 on a $10,000.00  used auto loan including interest of $704.00 for total payments of $10,704.00.  D & E credit scores will require a down payment.  Ask for details.  We will refinance auto loans that are not presently with GHPFCU.

*** SECURITY SCREEN UPDATE ***

The credit union will be enhancing our security screens for those members that use BillPay. 

If you have NOT accepted the "Register Device" option from your initial security questions, you will be presented with an option to choose a Security Image to be used for all subsequent log ins to BillPay.  This change is being made to further secure your account to any possible intrusion a hacker might attempt. 

For those memebers that have registered their computer this option will NOT be presented to you.  Should you ever decide to participate you must un-register by going to the User Profile Tab and choosing Update Security Info and deselecting the registered device.  When you next log in you will then be presented the security screens where you may choose an image.

For any questions please call the office at 860-522-0899 for assistance.

RECEIVING FEDERAL PAYMENTS?

Three out of four employees use direct deposit for payroll and one out of four still receive paper checks, said a new survey from NACHA, the electronic payments association. The survey revealed a 2% increase in direct deposit use, from 72% to 74%, and 71% of employees cite convenience as their primary reason for using direct deposit.


The survey, which was conducted from a random sample of 3,502 respondents, also found 17% of employees are splitting their direct deposit funds over two accounts, which is a 3% increase from 2010.


NACHA said those 83% of employees who do not split their direct deposits into multiple accounts are missing out on a simple way to save. According to a 2007 NACHA survey, employees save 30% more on average when they deposit money into their savings accounts through a split direct deposit as opposed to making manual deposits.


Survey respondents listed other top reasons for opting into direct deposit as safety (35%), employer requirements (33%), clutter reduction (24%) and reduced environmental impact (21%).
