As you manage your money, using online technology gives the environment some needed help—and helps you save time and the money you're managing. It may not seem significant, but when you look at the number of financial transactions you make each month, multiplied by the number of people doing the same thing … it adds up.

When you need a loan, if driving to LCU isn't convenient, consider searching our rates online and applying via our Web site at leomistercu.com. Applying online saves trees as well as gasoline.

Opt to receive e-statements via e-mail each month, instead of mailed paper statements. Use our online banking service Member Online to check balances and transfer funds between accounts. Simply log on to Member Online and click on the “E-Statement Authorization” button along the bottom of the screen.

And while you are on Member Online, use our free Bill Pay service to automatically transfer money electronically to pay your bills each month. It saves paper and uses less energy since there's no need to create and deliver a paper invoice.

Since we only have one planet earth, we all benefit from making eco-friendly choices. If you're not using electronic services, check out what's offered. Oh, and use our Web site to check. If you're unsure how to use the Web site call 800-649-4646. Credit union staff will be happy to walk you through it—you can set up most electronic services with just a few button clicks.
