Safe Deposit Boxes: Protecting Your Valuables at Earthmover Credit Union

For documents and items that are difficult or impossible to replace, Earthmover Credit Union offers secure safe deposit boxes. These private, locked compartments within our vault provide a secure location to store important papers, irreplaceable family heirlooms, precious metals, and other valuable items that you want to protect from theft, fire, or other damage.

  1. Secure Storage: Our vaults are constructed to withstand various threats, offering a protected environment for your most important possessions.
  2. Privacy: Only you, or an authorized representative, can access your safe deposit box, ensuring the privacy of your stored items.
  3. Peace of Mind: Knowing your critical documents like property deeds, birth certificates, passports, and collectible items are safe gives you invaluable peace of mind.

This service is an essential offering for members looking for an extra layer of protection for their irreplaceable valuables, complementing their financial security with physical asset protection.

Direct Deposit & Payroll Deduction: Convenient Banking with Earthmover Credit Union

Simplify your financial life with Earthmover Credit Union's direct deposit and payroll deduction services. Direct deposit allows your paycheck, Social Security benefits, pension, or other recurring payments to be electronically transferred directly into your Earthmover Credit Union account. This eliminates the need for paper checks, reduces trips to the branch, and ensures your funds are available faster and more reliably. It's a secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to manage your incoming funds.

Payroll deduction takes this convenience a step further by allowing you to automatically allocate a portion of your paycheck to different Earthmover Credit Union accounts. For example, you can set up a direct deduction to your savings account, a special purpose club account, or even make loan payments automatically. This 'set it and forget it' approach is an excellent way to build savings consistently, pay down debt without extra effort, or contribute to specific financial goals without having to remember to transfer funds manually.

Both direct deposit and payroll deduction are designed to make managing your money easier and more effective. They help members save time, avoid potential delays or loss of paper checks, and foster good financial habits by automating regular contributions to savings or debt repayment. Speak with an Earthmover Credit Union representative to set up these convenient services today.
