Your well-being is our top priority and, together, we will get through these challenging times.

As you purchase groceries for your family, order items online from local businesses or pick up supplies at the hardware store, we hope you will consider keeping your UMCU Visa credit card at the top of your wallet. With no annual fee, low interest rates and the opportunity to earn cash back on all purchases with the UMCU Visa Cash Rewards card, your UMCU credit card is a great go-to card of choice.

RECEIVING YOUR CHECK
The first round of economic stimulus checks was scheduled to be issued starting mid-April for those individuals with direct deposit information already on file with the IRS or Social Security. The issuance of paper stimulus checks will follow, and that process is expected to begin in May and continue throughout the summer.
DEPOSITING YOUR CHECK WHILE SOCIAL DISTANCING
If you are expecting to receive a paper check from the IRS, we want to remind you of the quick and easy ways you can deposit it into your UMCU account.
UMCU Mobile Banking App - the remote check deposit on the mobile app allows you to conveniently deposit checks using your smartphone or tablet! Click here to watch a full tutorial.
ATMs - UMCU has ATMs available that allow you to deposit checks right to your account. See a full list of our ATMs here. As a UMCU member, you also have free access to any of the 30,000 CO-OP Network ATMs that are available nationwide. Click here to find a CO-OP ATM near you.
Branch Drive-Thru - Though we encourage you to try one of the above methods, our branch drive-thru locations are also available. Click here to see available locations.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the stimulus check, please call our Contact Center at 800-968-8628 or email umcu@umcu.org.
Stay healthy and stay safe. Together, we will make it through this.

Anyone experiencing these symptoms should not go into a branch and contact their medical provider. We are committed to sharing important updates and keeping our members informed.

In addition, the health information office at UC Davis developed a helpful video about Coronavirus.
Safeguards regarding the spread of Coronavirus
Person-to-person spread of the Coronavirus in the United States has been detected. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus. Practice these good prevention strategies:
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer if you don't have soap and water.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow and sleeve.
- Stay away from others if you or they are sick; maintain a six-foot distance.
- Clean and disinfect frequently-touched surfaces.
As always, you can access your account 24/7 using ATMs, online banking or the UMCU mobile app. During our regularly scheduled business hours, you can visit our UMCU Branches or call our Contact Center at 800-968-8628.
