More Than Just No Overdraft Fees
Let’s face it. One of the biggest hassles with any checking account is overdraft fees. Especially when it comes to checking accounts that call themselves ‘free.’
So, no overdraft fess - plus we're offering you free URCovered.
What does URCovered do for you? Simply put - we cover your purchases and ATM withdrawals even if the money's not there. With no fee.
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, we wouldn't be around as long as we've been if we didn't put people first. Get all the details below. And see why you should have your checking account with us
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.

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.

We don’t believe in misleading people.

We’re transparent about the fees we do charge – please visit our fee schedule for all that we do charge fees for.
