New HUECU Website
F A L L2 0 1 4
Notice anything different at huecu.org?
The new Credit Union website has been
enhanced to provide more robust member
resources, easier access to information, and
an overall improved user experience. Here
are some of the highlights:
Mobile Responsive Design
The new site has a flexible structure that will
adapt based on the device you are using.
So whether you access the site through
your smartphone, tablet, or home
computer; your browsing experience will
be optimized for that particular format.
Expanded Resources & Support
Our enhanced search feature goes beyond
a typical keyword search. Members can
type questions right into the search bar
and receive instant answers from our
extensive HUECU Knowledge Base.
We’re also introducing a Document
Uploader, which will allow you to quickly
and securely deliver important documents
to the Credit Union.
Personalized Location Information
Our new Branch and ATM Locator
tool will provide details about and
directions to the locations nearest
you, including HUECU branches
and ATMs, surcharge-free SUM
Program ATMs, NYCE shared
deposit-taking ATMs, and CO-OP
Shared Branch locations.

and many other new features.

Introducing the Varsity Life Account
In August, HUECU launched the new Varsity Life Account, a check-
ing account specifically designed for the teenage children (ages
13-17) of HUECU members1. The Varsity Life Account allows teens
to develop important money management skills, while also main-
taining parental access to their accounts.
The Varsity Life Account Features:
• Free Checking Account with
Debit Card
• Free interest-earning Savings
Account
• Optional Club Savings Account
for additional savings goals
To open a Varsity Life Account, parents must first establish a
membership for their teen by opening a Share Savings Account
on which they are a joint owner1. They will then add a Varsity Life
Checking Account to the new membership.
The Varsity Life Checking Account comes with an HUECU Debit
MasterCard® with a limit of $300. It also features unlimited free
ATM transactions and refunds up to $10 per month for surcharges
from other financial institutions. A free starter pack of checks is
also available by request. Open a Varsity Life Account today at any
HUECU branch. Learn more about the Varsity Life Account at
huecu.org 1. HUECU requires a minor to have a joint account owner (residing at the same address) who will be jointly liable for any returned item, overdraft or unpaid charges and/or fees. A link may be established to the Share Savings Account or a Joint Owner’s Checking or Share Savings Account enabling pre-authorized overdraft protection. We may pay funds directly to the minor without regard to his or her minority. Check huecu.org for updates and full details.

Coming Soon: EMV Chip Credit Cards
Foreign Currency Exchange
HUECU now offers more than 80 different foreign currencies to
members for their travel purposes. We will also buy back any un-
used foreign currency (paper only) once you return from your trip.
Travelers should have multiple payment options available while
they are abroad. Credit and debit cards are useful tools for pur-
chasing goods and services, but local currency is indispensable for
tips, transportation needs, small meals, and other casual purchases.
Save time and avoid security risks by arriving at your destination
prepared.
Please visit huecu.org for more information about ordering foreign
currency before your next trip to ensure we have the currency you
need available.
Employee Highlights
Your savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government
Beginning in December, every new
HUECU Credit Card will include
the enhanced security of an
EMV chip. EMV technology
features an embedded microchip
that makes it extremely difficult
to copy a card, should it be lost
or stolen, better protecting
cardholders from many types of fraud.
How Does It Work?
EMV chips are enhanced by providing dynamic data that cannot be
known to someone who steals your card or your card number. It’s
the most fraud-resistant payment method you can use.
Where Are EMV Cards Accepted?
The new EMV cards can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted.
If a merchant is not yet utilizing EMV chip technology, the transac-
tion will be processed using the magnetic strip on the back. The ad-
ditional security benefits of the EMV cards will be realized anywhere
the technology has been adopted. EMV chip technology is already
prevalent outside of the United States; however, many U.S. mer-
chants are still in the process of updating their payment terminals.
When Will EMV Cards Be Issued?
Beginning in December, all new cards will include the EMV chip.
When existing credit cards are reissued, they will be replaced with
an EMV-enabled card. Once the new cards are available, the Credit
Union will also be able to accommodate replacements by request.
