More Than Just No Overdraft Fees

So how does this work?

Without URCovered, your payment may be declined for not having sufficient funds in your account. Many banks also continue to charge non-sufficient funds (NSF or ‘overdraft’) fees that drive your account further into the negative.

If you’re a member in good standing with URCovered, you won’t be charged an overdraft fee and we’ll cover your charge – up to $500 for newer members and up to $1,000 for members who’ve been with us more than five years.

All accounts in good standing are automatically enrolled in URCovered after 90 days of opening your checking account. You do have to choose to enroll in URCovered for debit card and ATM transactions separately.

Again, there is no fee for this service. Business checking accounts are not covered by URCovered.

Your obligation is to bring your account balance current within 45 days or your membership will be reevaluated.

Why are you the first to do this?

It’s simple. We’re a co-op. It means you own US Eagle versus shareholders we need to make money for. At 80,000+ members strong, our financial strength allows us to do even more for our member-owners. The stronger we become together, the more financial advantages we’re able to provide our members. That’s something we’ve never forgotten and one of the reasons US Eagle is New Mexico’s longest-standing, member-owned credit union. People mean more than profits at US Eagle.

Do you have a free checking account?

We don’t believe in misleading people. All of our checking accounts have a monthly fee EXCEPT for Life Essentials^® that does not have a monthly fee if you use free e-statements and Perks Plus^® if you carry a monthly average balance of $5,000 or more – but you get a heck of a lot with that account including dividends. We’re transparent about the fees we do charge – please visit our fee schedule for all that we do charge fees for.
