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 credit card?
You will be issued a new Crane CU Visa Platinum Credit Card with a lower interest rate of 8.9% APR. We anticipate you will receive the new Crane CU Credit Card by Friday, October 7th.
Your new Crane CU Credit Card can be activated for use on Monday, October 10th. You may continue using your existing Hulman Field Credit Card until this time. Please be aware your Hulman Field Credit Card will be deactivated on Tuesday, October 11th. Your current balance will transfer over to the new card. In addition, your card will be issued with the same credit line and any joint cardholders on the account will also receive a new card.
Once you activate your new card, you will need to destroy your old card.
Your card number will be changing, so once you receive your new card you will need to update any automatic payments you have set-up (examples: cable, gym, electric, insurance, online bill payment).
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 Hulman Field 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 September 30, 2022, Hulman Field’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 Hulman Field. 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.
