new member qualifications

What does my friend have to do?

The new member must be an “active member” in good standing to qualify for the Referral Program rewards. An active member is defined as opening a loan, opening a credit card, or opening and actively using a checking account. Only opening a savings account does not qualify as an active member.

To qualify under opening a loan or a credit card

The new member would need to apply for membership between July 1, 2024, and September 30, 2024. The loan or credit card must be opened within the first three calendar months following the membership opening.

To qualify under the checking account

The checking account must be opened between July 1, 2024, and September 30, 2024, and the new member must complete at least two transactions per month for the three months following the membership opening to qualify.

By completing an application for any account at EFCU, the member authorizes EFCU to check your account, credit and employment history, and obtain reports from third parties, including credit reporting agencies, to verify your eligibility for the accounts and services you request.

Rewards and bonuses

How do I get my reward?

Referral Rewards and Welcome Bonuses

If requirements are met, new members receive a $25 Welcome Bonus on the fifth statement from account opening. Those who refer receive a $25 Referral Reward at the same time the new member receives their bonus. The funds will be deposited into the primary share account of the referrer and new member.

 

 Offer cannot be “stacked,” meaning only one Referral Reward and one Welcome Bonus per new member. You will not receive multiple Referral Rewards for the same friend taking advantage of multiple promotions, nor will your friend receive multiple Welcome Bonuses for taking advantage of multiple promotions.

 

Welcome Bonuses cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions offered by EFCU.

Referral cap

You can receive a Referral Reward for no more than five new members from July 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024.

In the event that the credit union decides to extend the Referral Program, no person will be entitled to receive more than $500 in cumulative Referral Rewards or Welcome Bonuses within a calendar year. Referral Rewards and Welcome Bonuses may be subject to reporting to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service).

Qualifications

Each person referred should be someone you have a direct, personal relationship with. You may not distribute referral flyers or otherwise solicit anyone through mass mail, email, any form of commercial advertising or other similar means.

You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in soliciting referrals. EFCU reserves the right to review, investigate, and disqualify anyone from participation in the EFCU Referral Program at any time, and reserves the right to not honor any referral which in our sole discretion was solicited in a manner inconsistent with the spirit or terms and conditions of the EFCU Referral Program.

Furthermore, EFCU reserves the right to seek reimbursement from any member of amounts paid as Referral Rewards to members solicited via mass solicitation. Please note that in certain circumstances the deduction of such amounts from their account may result in a negative balance. Reimbursement may also be sought for any new membership closed within six months of opening or loans refinanced elsewhere within one year of loan opening.

To protect the privacy of those you refer, referral prospect account information or eligibility is not, under any circumstances, permitted to be shared with you.

Non-solicitation agreement

If you participate, you agree not to compensate or accept compensation from applicants you refer to EFCU through the Referral Program. You further agree that your activities will be limited to referring potential members as described above, so they may independently decide whether to apply. You may not collect information from eligible recipients under any Referral Program, assist with filling out an application, or discuss specific product terms.

So tell your friends!
