Important News for UECU Members

The U.S. Treasury Has Announced that the Federal Government Will Phase Out Paper Checks on September 30, 2025.

To improve efficiencies and minimize the risk of fraud, lost payments, and mail theft, the federal government will stop issuing paper checks for most federal payments on September 30, 2025.* If you are currently receiving benefit payments electronically, no action is required on your part.

If you are still receiving a paper check for Social Security, Veterans benefits, or any other Federal benefit, you’ll need to enroll in direct deposit using one of the following options:

Call the Federal agency that pays your benefits and follow their instructions for enrolling in direct deposit. A list of the paying agencies’ contact information can be found online
Enrolling online at GoDirect.gov
Call the Electronic Payment Solution Center at 800-967-6857, Monday – Friday 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. ET

To set up direct deposit to your UECU account, you’ll need the following information:

For a direct deposit to your UECU CHECKING ACCOUNT, provide your Checking MICR Account Number (the 14-digit number listed at the bottom of your UECU checks) and UECU’s Routing Number, 231385633. If you do not have UECU checks, you can also find your Checking MICR Account Number in digital banking. Log into your account with Mobile or Online Banking and click on your checking account. Under Account Details, look for MICR Account Number.
For a direct deposit to your UECU SAVINGS ACCOUNT, provide your 6-digit member number and UECU’s Routing Number, 231385633. You can find your member number on your UECU Member/Account Statements.

Fraud Prevention Tip: Watch out for government impersonation scams. Before responding to an unsolicited phone call, text message, email, mailer, or request, verify it by contacting the agency using a website or phone number you know is real. UECU will never contact you to ask you to verify sensitive information like your account number or card information.

UECU Awarded Best of Bauer for 34 Consecutive Years

BauerFinancial, Inc., the Nation’s Premier Credit Union and Bank Rating Firm, has announced that UECU has once again earned its top (5-Star) rating for financial strength and stability. Having earned Bauer’s (5-Star) rating continuously for 138 quarters, UECU has also earned Bauer’s highest designation as a “Best of Bauer Credit Union.” This designation is reserved solely for institutions that have earned Bauer’s top rating for a minimum of 25 years consecutively.

Bauer rates every federally-insured U.S. credit union with the same strict standards, and is honored to report that UECU continues to earn its top rating. “As a member-owned credit union, UECU keeps its focus on its field of membership (or FOM)”, remarked Karen Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “The employees of UECU are people just like those in its FOM. That means, whatever its members are going through, the employees are likely going through the same thing, whether it be fires, floods, acts of nature, or simply an empty lot that is begging for a ballfield. They are unflinchingly by your side to help that better future come to fruition.”

UECU has been a dedicated partner for its members for over 90 years. Making connections and supporting its field of membership is what it does, and what it has done since 1934. A 5-Star rating from Bauer shows confidence that UECU has the financial strength to continue to do so.

UECU holds a Superior Rating from IDC Financial Publishing, Inc., an independent firm that provides key performance measurement data for government-reporting financial institutions across the country. IDC Financial Publishing, Inc. calculates a one-number quality rank for each institution along with over 35 key financial ratios. There are six categories: Superior (200-300), Excellent (165-199), Average (125-164), Below Average (75-124), and Lowest Ratios (2-74) and Rank One. The analysis is based on the financial information each institution reports to the Federal Government.

Credit unions rated Superior are classified as the best in all measures. On average, they have the strongest capital ratios, the best asset quality, and are the most profitable. Many of these institutions demonstrate an ability to generate a core return on net worth (ROE) above cost of net worth (COE).
