We are excited to officially welcome the Alabama Law Enforcement Credit Union Members into the family of Jefferson Credit Union at the end of the month!
* On 4/01, we legally merged the two credit unions together.
* On 11/01, we will merge the databases together.
What that means for a Jefferson CU member:
- Online Banking and the Mobile App will not be available and account balance inquiries at ATM’s will not reflect all of the money in your account, starting on the evening of Friday, 10/31 and ending on Monday morning, 11/03, as we combine the databases.
- There may be limited balances available from your debit card over the weekend of 10/31 – 11/03. Please prepare to have cash on hand over that weekend, in case you need something larger than what will be allowed during the database merger weekend.
- We will have staff available over the weekend, answering phones and assisting as best as we can during the transition.
- By Monday, 11/03, all systems will be together as one and we can move forward, united in one database!
