Get a chance to WIN UP TO $5,000 in bill reimbursement every time you use our FREE Online Bill Payer system from July 1 through Dec. 31, 2009!

Once a month, we'll reimburse one randomly selected member for every third-party vendor bill he or she paid during the previous month using our Online Bill Payer system. That includes mortgage, Visa, tuition bills, and more - up to a total of $5,000! We'll draw the winner on or about the 15th of the month, with our first drawing on Aug. 14, 2009, and our final drawing on Jan. 15, 2010.

You're automatically entered to Pay Green, Win Green simply by using both Online Bill Payer and e-Statements.* You'll get one entry for each bill you pay. The more bills you pay the more chances you have to win.

Our state-of-the-art, secure Online Bill Payer system is FREE to all members with a credit union checking account.

Online Bill Payer allows you to pay virtually all of your bills online. No more writing checks, stamping envelopes, and last-minute trips to the post office. And, once your bills are set up for automatic payment, you needn't worry about late fees (provided your checking account has adequate funds.) For bills that change from month to month, it takes just seconds to specify the amount of your payment. To learn more or sign up, login to Online Banking and select "Money Manager" and "Bill Payer."

If you're still receiving paper statements, now's the time to switch to free e-Statements. e-Statements replace your paper statements with an online version that you can view anytime using our secure Web site. They're free, and security experts recommend them as a smart way to trim your paper trail and reduce your risk of identity theft. They also save storage space, since we'll build a 14-month online e-Statement archive for you. Click here for details.
