Celebrating over 80 Years of Service!
2015 Marked a milestone for your Credit Union. We were established in 1935 by employees from the Pittsburgh area of AT&T and Western Electric Companies as a means to make safe and regular investments and to obtain loans at reasonable rates. Today, our philosophy is the same, providing a safe means to save and borrow. Our growth is owed solely to the support of our members-past and present. Thank you to all our members for utilizing our services.

Reg E Disclosures
Receipts for electronic fund transfers (EFTs) of $15 or less are no longer required. Therefore, if you do transactions under $15 you may not receive a receipt at an ATM or POS terminal.
Identity Prevention Tools
The PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency has a new web site to fight back against Identity Theft: www.IdentityTheftActionPlan.com
This web site is designed to help you prevent, detect and respond to America's fastest growing crime. You can be proactive by downloading an action plan and be prepared should you become a victim. The site also provides steps to take if your Identity is stolen or compromissed. Learn how to file a police report, replace a driver's license, health insurance or Social Security cards.
Prevent Phishing Scams...Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information unless the email is digitally assigned to you. Don't use links in an email to get to any web page if you suspect the message might not be authentic; avoid filling out forms in email messages that ask for personal info; and regularly check your debit and credit card statements to ensure that all transactions are legitimate.
Tips to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a new credit or debit card--don't sign the back. Instead put "Photo ID required." When paying by check, don't write the full card number on the memo line, use the last four digits. Make a copy of the contents of your wallet using a copy machine. Be sure to make a copy of both the front and the back of each card. You'll have all the info you'll need to call and cancel the cards if you ever need to!

Family Accounts
Do you have a savings account for your child? If not, why not open an account today?
The credit union is a great way to teach your child to save. Children can deposit birthday or babysitting money and watch it grow.
Start teaching your child financial responsibility early and make them a financially responsibile adult! Family members include parents, children, siblings, and in-laws. They do not have to live in the same household.

Negative Account Information
We may report information about your loan and deposit accounts to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your accounts may be reflected in your credit report.

Uncertain Economic Times
The media has been dominated recently by reports that the economy is in the mist of a recession. Many factors come into play including the collapse of the subprime morgage market and the upheaval in certain investment sectors.
While this news may be discouraging, you can rest assured that we at AT&T Credit Union take the trust you placed in us, your credit union very seriously. We have never made subprime loans. Our investments comply with all state and federal credit union laws and regulations and our investments are federally insured. Finally, we are audited each year by an external auditor and by the National Credit Union Administration.
We have provided financial services to our members since 1935 and we look forward to serving you for years to come.
