We're Building Better Banking

You may have heard that we’re embarking on an initiative to build a stronger banking system. Our system upgrades are progressing as scheduled and our teams are getting ready to support you through the transition.

We want to make sure this transition is as seamless as possible for you. Keep an eye on your mailbox for a letter from us that will provide you with important information about your membership, anticipated member impacts, and details about the system upgrades.

Please review our Member Information Insert to learn what steps you should take before, during, and after the weekend upgrades.

Looking for more information now? Take a moment to review the information below and reach out to us if you have any questions.

Please note, throughout the upgrade weekend, you will continue to have access to our ATM network and your debit card will continue to work as usual.

What is changing?
  • Our mobile app, and online banking experiences will be refreshed during this initiative to ensure a smoother and more modern member experience. This means a new look and feel as well as better functionality and user experience.
  • Our in-branch banking system will also be updated during this initiative. We anticipate minimal disruption to in-branch services for members.
  • Your member number, account number, and online banking login will be updated. You can expect to get important information about these changes by mail.
  • Members who use the Inter-Credit Union System (ICU) may experience a temporary disruption during this time, meaning you may be unable to perform transactions at a credit union other than your own. Contact us directly to learn about ICU alternatives if you use this service.
Why are we changing?
  • Based on member feedback and the fast pace of digital change, now is the right time to refresh our online and mobile banking experiences.
  • A modernized in branch banking system will allow us to more efficiently evolve our products and services, to serve you better, today and into the future.
When is this happening?
  • We anticipate the systems upgrades will occur later in February 2025, provided the preparations continue to progress as scheduled.
  • Please follow us on social media and refer back to our website frequently for the most up-to-date information, including notifications should there be any changes to scheduling.
When will I hear more?
  • Bookmark this page and watch this site for updates in the weeks ahead.
  • Look for direct letter mail and/or emails from NLCU.
Who do I contact if I have questions?
  • You can email us at info@nlcu.com or give us a call at 1-800-563-3300.
Privacy and Security
  • We know emails are convenient, but emails are not secure enough for sharing your account details. To protect your privacy, we will never send sensitive account information via email.

3rd Annual NLCU Fall Food Drive

The NLCU Fall Food Drive is underway again this year.

Donations of non-perishable foods will go to local food banks in Newfoundland and Labrador. Cash donations will be given to the Community Food Sharing Association (CFSA), which distributes food to 54 food banks in the province.

For years, NLCU has given back to communities as part of its recognition of International Credit Union Day, which falls on the third Thursday in October each year. In 2022, NLCU began holding the annual food drive to help people in this province who experience food insecurity.

Donations will be accepted at all NLCU locations until October 31, 2024.


Suspicious Website Alert for collabriacreditcards.life
