Get Organized and Reduce Environmental Impact

Did you know that if every U.S. household stopped receiving paper bills and statements, 687,000 tons of paper would be saved ever year? That’s enough to circle the Earth 239 times! Plus, today’s technology makes it easier and safer than ever to enjoy all the benefits of electronic banking.

Direct Deposit and Online Banking

Electronic banking not only saves paper it saves you time and gas too. Get started by setting up Direct Deposit for your pay or benefits checks to avoid trips to the credit union and waiting in line. Then, sign up for Online Banking with a user id and password so you can check your balance before you go shopping or make a trip to the ATM to avoid expensive and embarrassing overdrafts. You will find that nearly any routine transaction can be handled online–transfer funds between accounts, make loan payments, request a withdrawal and more; all without spending the time or gas to go to the branch office.

Also, online banking is actually safer in many ways than paper-based transactions that can be intercepted in the mail. The latest encryption and user authentication technology is utilized to ensure your transactions remain secure. Michigan First has recently enhanced its Online Banking Service to include state-of-the-art features, such as custom alerts, live chat support, EZ Scan&Deposit^SM, and more.

e-Statements

A popular feature within the Online Banking System is e-Statements. This electronic format enables you to view and store several months worth of transactions on your computer or digital media. Plus, if you need to find a particular transaction, it’s quick and easy to search for a certain dollar amount or word that is on your statement. E-Statements are the quicker and more secure way to receive your account information.

Online Bill Pay

Once you experience the ease and convenience of Online Bill Pay, you will never go back to writing checks. Organize your bills to be paid online automatically on a date you choose, and you’ll have one less thing to remember, plus you can avoid expensive late fees. You can also choose to receive your bills electronically, instead of via regular mail which makes them easy to keep track of and helps to save paper.

Coming Soon

Michigan First will soon be offering the option of receiving your Credit Union Newsletter electronically. It’s just one more way you can save paper, cut down on clutter and conveniently store your newsletters for easy reference. Visit us at www.MichiganFirst.com for all the details.
