Call for Volunteers

A credit union is owned by its’ members, that is every person who has an account here has a vote in the credit union and elects the Board of Directors to run the credit union. The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 19, 2017, at 4:30 pm. We are in need of people to volunteer for the Board of Directors. If you are interested in volunteering please contact the manager.

Spread the word! Your co-workers in the medical field are eligible to join as well as the members of you immediate family! We are looking for new members to grow our credit union.

You can support your credit union by reviewing your current borrowing situation. For example, have you purchased a vehicle that you financed at the dealership out of convenience? If so please check out your current interest rate. We find that our members who finance elsewhere often pay a higher rate of interest than if they had financed at Tower Family Credit Union. If you are willing to help support your credit union, please give us a call and see if we can match or beat your current interest rate.

Home Banking and e-statements

Did you know that we offer e-statements? You can sign up for e-statements through home banking. It’s easy, just click on the e-statement tab and you can begin receiving your e-statement on the first day of the month. No more statements in the mail or more paper to shred. E-statements will remain on the system for 18 months. You can save them to your personal files if you wish. If you need copies you can simply print them off. We charge $5 per statement that we have to re-print at the credit union.

Using your Tower Family CU Debit Card?

PLEASE update your address and phone number with the credit union. It is very important that we have current information especially if you have a debit or credit card with us.

Your debit card has a daily spending limit assigned. Please know your limit before you purchase.

If you plan to travel with your debit card please let us know so that we may put a travel advisory on your card. This will help to prevent your card from being shut down while you are out of town. Our system evaluates transactions and flags suspicious transactions that are out of your normal spending habits and locations.
