OCCU snapshot: a quick take on what’s new

  • Who’s calling? For many of us, when the phone rings, it means there’s an emergency. But just as likely, it’s a phone scammer, with their own “emergency.” They need you to wire money or deliver gift cards to a stranger to pay off an overdue tax bill. If you’re not careful, they can be very convincing. Know the signs so you can protect yourself.
     
  • 2023 Annual Meeting. Join us as we highlight our financial performance in 2023 and our initiatives planned for 2024. Learn more at MyOCCU.org/Annual-Meeting.
     
  • Giving back. As we tally up our 2023 giving and look forward to the year ahead, let’s celebrate the nearly $1 million the OCCU Foundation was able to give back to the community in 2022. It’s all thanks to the generosity of people like you. Here’s what we achieved together.
     
  • Know before you file. Goodbye, winter holidays. Hello, tax season! Before you start filing — we know you’re bursting with anticipation — there are a few changes to keep in mind. Here’s what’s new.

Member security: Identity theft

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need to worry about identity theft. 

Unfortunately, personal security cannot be left to chance. At OCCU, the safety and security of your personal accounts and finances are our top priority. But we can’t do it alone. It’s important that you are also vigilant about protecting your sensitive information.

Oftentimes, the best defense is a good offense. Check your credit report regularly for signs of tampering. (You can do this at AnnualCreditReport.com). Use unique and hard-to-guess passwords on each of your online accounts. And stay on top of the newest and latest scams, so you know what to watch out for, and what to do if your information is compromised:

At OCCU, we take every step possible to protect your personal information and your finances. That includes providing you with resources to help you spot the scams so you can stay vigilant. Our Member Security YouTube playlist will let you know how to protect yourself.

When we work together, your finances and your information are doubly fortified against intruders.

Upgrade your checking. It’s Remarkably easy!

A checking account is more than just a way to fund the checks you write (if you still write them). It’s a central hub for most of your financial activity. Your debit card purchases, your online bill payments, your transfers — there’s a good chance that your checking account is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

But it can do more. Remarkably more.

Remarkable Checking from OCCU is a free checking account with no fees or minimum balance, unlimited ATM usage2 and a top-of-market interest rate that lets you earn while you spend. Plus, Remarkable Checking comes with up to a 4.00% annual percentage yield (APY)1 on balances up to $20,000 and .20% APY on balances greater than $20,000 for the first six months.

To earn the most possible interest, all you have to do is meet a few simple requirements each month:

  • Use your debit card 12 times. 
  • Set up at least one direct deposit or auto-pay. 
  • Sign up for eStatements. 

When it comes to your money, why should you settle for anything less than remarkable? Imagine the possibilities that could open up when you start earning more from your checking. Learn more about how you could benefit from opening a Remarkable Checking account today.
