Will I still be able to use my debit card?
You will be issued a new Crane CU Visa debit card that will arrive before December 11th.
Your Community State Bank debit card will be deactivated on Friday, December 11th at 2:30 pm CT/3:30 pm ET.
You may be able to activate your new Crane CU debit card as early as the afternoon of Saturday, December 12th. However, if your card does not work, it can be activated for use beginning Monday, December 14th. Please prepare and plan accordingly to be without your current Community State Bank or your new Crane CU debit card for the above-mentioned time period.
To activate your new Crane CU debit card, call the phone phone number listed on the sticker on the front of the card and follow the instructions. You may also select your individual PIN # at this time as one will not be issued automatically.
Once you activate your new card, you will need to destroy your old card.
Your debit card number will be changing, so once you receive your new card you will need to update any automatic payments you have set up.
Will I still be able to use my current checks?
Yes you will be able to use your current checks. Soon after the Conversion Date, you will be issued new checks by Crane which will contain your new account number and routing number. Your initial checks will be automatically ordered for you at no cost and mailed to the address listed on your account. However, if you currently have more than one box of checks in your supply, you may continue using those for several months.
When the transaction is complete, will my direct deposit still work?
Your direct deposit and regular automated withdrawals will continue to work without interruption.
Will there be any changes to my account notices and statements?
All your account notices and statements will be updated to Crane’s user-friendly format when the transaction is complete. You will receive a final Community State Bank statement reflecting activity through the Closing Date. All transactions occurring after the Closing Date will be reflected on your new statement from Crane.
How will this affect my rates and service charges?
Shortly following the Closing Date, on December 11, 2020, Community State Bank’s system is expected to be integrated with Crane’s. On the Conversion Date, the rates and fees convert to Crane’s structure. The timing for rates varies according to the product or service:
- Deposit accounts, other than Certificates of Deposit (CDs), will automatically begin earning interest at Crane’s rates following the Closing Date.
- CDs will continue to earn interest at the rate contracted with Community State Bank. If renewed, they will renew at Crane’s rates.
- Loan interest rates remain as defined currently in your loan agreements unless the loan is refinanced.
Will my deposits continue to be federally insured?
Crane is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Your deposits will continue to be federally insured to the maximum amount available – currently to at least $250,000 per member and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
