Real Time Transaction Updates

Real Time Transaction Updates

Point of Sale (POS) purchases and signature-based purchases are debited directly from your Everyday Hero Account. You can expect your balance to be updated in "near-real" time while you shop, with recent transactions appearing in real time.

Avoid Overdraft Fees from Day One.

Overdraft fees vary by bank but can cost up to $35 or more per transaction. Some banks even charge “continuous” or “daily” overdraft fees that are applied for every day your account remains overdrawn.

MCU offers the ability to open an Overdraft Protection* Line of Credit so members can get extra protection for their finances.
