If you are new to Empower FCU, you become a member when your loan is funded.
Membership Share Savings
Every Member has a Membership Share Account that offers the benefits of a savings account. You can easily deposit funds into your share savings account to make your loan payment.
Here's a quick checklist to set you off right:
- Verify The Email Address on Your Documents: Our first contact with you will be via email. We don’t want you to miss it!
- Select ‘Automatic Payments’ on The Payment Source Form: We’ll set up the automatic transfer for you with your instructions.
- Choose GAP Insurance: Opt in for a one-time fee of $300, which will be included in your monthly payment. If your vehicle is totaled or stolen and your insurance payout is less than your remaining loan balance, GAP may help cover the difference. You can also contact a loan officer at 315-728-5399 to discuss your options.
Once your loan is funded, you can expect an email or packet from us that includes details on your loan account information, required documents, and access to Online Banking.
