RelyOn Credit Union Merger Guide

Your Welcome Guide will be arriving via USPS sometime in mid-November. This has the critical information you need for your new membership number, account and loan numbers. If you do not receive your guide by December 1, please contact us by call or text at 214-357-3328 or email relyonus@relyoncu.org

Your $5 membership share held with RelyOn CU will automatically transfer into a new membership savings account. Please note that this $5 par value will not be reflected in your available balance.

For the first six months of your membership at Neighborhood CU, the $5 monthly Minimum Relationship Fee is waived. After this period, the fee will only apply if your Prize Savings or Membership Savings account balance falls below $500 and there are no other deposit or loan relationships with Neighborhood CU.

If you were enrolled in eStatements at RelyOn CU, you will automatically be enrolled for eStatements at Neighborhood CU. If not, avoid the $4.95 Paper Statement Fee by signing up for eStatements! Simply opt out of paper statements under the eStatements menu in your Online Banking account after registering.

If you are expecting an INT-1099 for the 2024 tax year, any information from both RelyOn CU and Neighborhood CU will be merged into a single INT-1099. This document will be available in your Neighborhood CU Online Banking portal by January 31, 2025.

Proof of Insurance - Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI)

At your earliest convenience, members with an auto loan should update the lienholder by contacting your insurance provider or updating it easily through your provider’s mobile app (if available) to:

No further action is needed from you, as the insurance company will then provide NCU with the necessary proof of insurance.  

We must verify that members have the proper comprehensive and collision coverage for their auto loan in order to avoid charging CPI. We need information from the insurance policy: the amount of the deductible ($1,500 or less) and showing Neighborhood CU as the lienholder. Note that Insurance ID cards are not acceptable as proof of insurance. 

• Neighborhood Credit Union Listed as Lienholder
• Full collateral description, including VIN
• Comprehensive & Collision coverage with a maximum of $1500 deductible
• The current Effective and Expiration dates of the coverage
