As a student, your schedule can vary widely from day to day, along with your financial needs. It’s important that your credit union be flexible and grow with you as your needs change. RMLEFCU offers a number of convenient features for students, such as mobile banking, person-2-person transfers, and shared branching. Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union also has a first time Visa credit card for students without any credit history. Banking for students is not just limited to whatever institution has an ATM near campus – use RMLEFCU when you are away at school for both its convenience and unbeatably low rates.
Convenience
With RMLEFCU you can do most banking transactions from your phone or online, which is perfect for students that don’t have the time or transportation to get to a branch. This includes depositing checks, transferring money, checking your balance, and more.
If you are not near an RMLEFCU branch and do need to visit in person, RMLEFCU makes that possible by partnering with over 5,000 credit unions across the United States. Wherever you are going to school, RMLEFCU will go with you. Visit any partner credit union to perform your in-branch transactions.
Take advantage of free overdraft protection and courtesy pay for those students that are a little tight on cash. Your card will not be declined for insufficient funds and you do not need to worry about ATM fees either. With a Kasasa checking account, up to $25 in ATM fees are refundable each month.
Person-2-Person Transfers
As a student, there is a lot of splitting costs for meals and bills with roommates. RMLEFCU offers person-2-person transfers for those unpredictable times that you need to give someone money but don’t have (or want to pull out) any cash. Using either online banking or your mobile phone app, you can transfer funds from your bank account directly to someone else. Who carries cash these days anyways?
Build Credit Early
Most students don’t have much credit yet, but the time to build it is now. RMLEFCU can help you get your first credit card and establish length of account history with a checking account. RMLEFCU has reasonable interest rates for credit cards, even for first time card holders. By working on establishing credit as a student, after graduation you will be able to get great rates on everything from a car to your first house.
Pay for School
Another popular feature for students is using a HELOC to pay for schooling/living expenses. Having your parents take out a Home Equity Line of Credit, or a HELOC, to pay for schooling will help keep your interest rates low – saving both students and parents a lot of money. It can be drawn on when needed and paid back as you are able to.
