With an active checking account at Educators Credit Union, you can start earning a Member Loyalty Reward!
On Nov. 30, Educators will be depositing up to $165 into accounts that have active checking. What’s active checking?
You then earn money for using Educators Credit Union products and services. To see the ways you can earn a Member Loyalty Reward, go to our Member Loyalty page.
BONUS: If Educators Credit Union increases our active checking account users by 20% on Nov. 30, any member with an active checking account in November receives a bonus reward.
1Educators Credit Union members will receive one Member Loyalty Reward per primary account holder social security number. A member can only receive one reward. Business accounts are eligible if their account uses an Employer Identification Number, not a social security number that is already linked to another Educators Credit Union account. The account earns a reward each month that builds to the Nov. 30 deposit. The account must be in good standing with Educators Credit Union for the member to participate in the reward that month. If a member’s checking account is negative due to Overdraft Privilege, that member is still eligible to participate in the program as long as the account is brought positive within the 35-day period. You can earn one monthly reward per service listed. For example, if you have multiple auto loans or leases, it will count as one service. Other restrictions may apply.
2ATM Withdrawals do not count as debit card transactions. Transfers from the checking share to another share, such as savings or loans, does not count as one of the five transactions.

The Saver’s Sweepstakes is a brand new prize-based savings account created by The Wisconsin Credit Union League with help from several credit unions across the state. Members earn entries into the sweepstakes for every $25 saved each month. They can receive up to six entries monthly. Those entries go towards a $100 monthly drawing, $1,000 quarterly drawing and the $5,000 yearly grand prize drawing.
While the Saver’s Sweepstakes is special because members can win for saving, it was created to help credit union members develop good saving habits.
The next group of winners will be picked in mid-April. For full entry rules and information, visit www.ecu.com/savers.

Educators Credit Union is introducing its latest and greatest additional Online and Mobile Banking: the FICO® Score Widget1.
Now, members can use the FICO® Score Widget to track their credit score each month. The widget also tells you the top reasons for the score you have, giving you the knowledge to help you improve it.
Credit scores are used to help lenders determine if they’ll approve you for a loan. It can go up and down based on your total debt, your income, your payment history and more.
For more information on the FICO® Score Widget, go to the FICO® page.
Need help setting up the widget? Use our helpful guides for enrollment and unenrollment.
1The FICO® Score Widget will only display the credit score for the primary member on the account. Minor, trust and business accounts do not have access to the FICO® Score Widget. Members whose credit profiles are currently frozen will not be able to use the FICO® Score Widget.
