Powers of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is used on an existing account when an established member designates another person as their attorney-in-fact or agent. Before conducting a transaction, he/she must sign an Affidavit of Attorney in Fact/Agent.
- Designates another person as attorney in fact or agent.
- Is signed by adult principal.
- Contains the wording showing the principal's intent that the authority granted on the attorney-in-fact, or agent, shall be executed despite the principal's subsequent disability or incapacity.
- Is acknowledged by the principal before a Notary public who is authorized to take acknowledgements to deeds of conveyance and to administer oaths under the laws of any state.
Deceased Members
Processes will vary when one of our members passes away. Factors such as loans and whether the member was the primary account holder or joint will determine how the account is handled. Generally, a joint member, a family member or another representative notifies the credit union of a member's death.
Wire Transfers
Note: Outgoing wire transfer fees apply according to the Membership Plan (see fee Membership Plan and Fee Schedule). The receiving institution may apply an incoming wire transfer fee which may affect the final dollar amount deposited to the recipient.
