Direct Deposit 

Direct deposit trims your to-do list. We are a nation that’s 'on the go'. There’s work time, fitness time, child time, spouse time, parent time, friend time, and, if you are lucky, some quiet time. Even retirees say, "I've never been busier in my life".


Wouldn’t it be nice to worry about one less thing? Try direct deposit. With direct deposit you authorize your employer or federal agency, like the Social Security Administration, to deposit your check directly into your credit union account. You can count on access to funds without visiting the credit union. Instead of a check, you receive a paper record of the transaction. Employers, for example, provide an earnings statement on payday showing net deposit and how much was withheld for taxes or any other withheld amounts.

Direct deposit takes the worry out of:

  • Stolen or misplaced checks. Direct deposit eliminates those risks

  • Delayed deposits. Your funds are deposited regularly and on time

  • Losing potential dividends. With direct deposit you earn dividends on funds as soon as possible

Take advantage of the convenience and security of direct deposit.

Payroll Deduction 

Payroll deduction is a very convenient way to save or repay a loan. Why not pay yourself first? Payroll deduction is a great way to start a regular savings program. Set aside a little every payday and before long your savings will grow into a nice nest egg. If you don’t see it, you probably won’t miss it.

Your payroll deduction can be set up to pay on your loans. You can split your loan payments so the whole amount won’t be deducted from one check. This helps when doing your budget.

Your payroll deductions can be directed to any credit union account you desire. Many members set aside certain funds every payday into their children’s accounts.

Wire Transfers 

If you need to send or receive funds quickly, your credit union provides wiring service. It is important to have the proper wiring instructions. The following steps will outline the exact procedures necessary to wire funds in or out of the credit union:

WIRE-IN PROCEDURES:

Contact the financial institution that will be wiring your funds to the credit union. They will need to know our credit union’s information:  

  1. Credit - Millennium Corporate CU,  Wichita, Kansas   ABA# 301-180-1111.

  2. Further Credit - NorthWestern Energy Employees FCU Butte, MT ABA# 292 976 984.

  3. Final Credit - Member's CU account number to receive the funds.

Financial institutions usually have a cut-off time for wiring. Please check with that institution to make sure the money will be wired and received the same day. It is best to wire funds early in the day. There is a $25.00 charge for wire-in service at the credit union.

WIRE-OUT PROCEDURES:

If you would like to wire transfer your funds to another financial institution, you must first contact them and ask for their wiring instructions. It is important these instructions are correct. There is a $5.00 return fee for incorrect wiring information and your wire could be delayed a day.

There is a $25.00 wire-out fee for this service. The fees could vary if wiring to another credit union.
