WHY ULSTER FEDERAL CREDIT UNION?

We want to help you establish roots. We are Ulster County's first credit union, and have been helping members since 1940. We believe that "People are Worth More than Money," and stand behind that statement by giving our members fast and personal member service. We offer account options that suit YOU, such as reward checking accounts, and low loan interest rates. 

MEMBER SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Everyone's got one!

The account must maintain a minimum balance of $25.00, which makes you a member of our credit union.

FREE REWARD CHECKING ACCOUNTS

Earn 2.00% cash back rewards on purchases, or 2.00% APY on balances up to $10,000 in a checking account by doing three simple things:

  1. Sign up for and login to online banking at least once per month
  2. Sign up for and receive e-statements
  3. Use your debit card at least 12 times throughout the monthly qualifying cycle

You can also receive up to $20.00/per month back on ATM fees.

If you do not complete the 3 qualifying steps during the month, then you won't receive the rewards for the month. Otherwise, it acts as a FREE checking account.

FREE REWARD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

Our reward checking account can be paired with a savings account that receives a higher interest rate as long as you qualify for the rewards that month. You can earn up to 0.50% APY if rewards are earned, and 0.03% APY if you don't meet the reward qualifications for the month.

SERVICES

We offer Visa Debit Cards, Card-Nav Debit Card Controls, Online Banking, Remote Deposit Capture, Mobile Wallet, Nationwide ATM's, E-Statements, as well as personal, friendly service.
