Helping Others Feel Good About Banking

I went to TFCU to obtain a new debit card because they sent me one that got lost in the mail. I entered the Kendall branch and sat with Ms. Benitez. She was friendly, cordial and genuinely concerned with my issue. Her service was second to none and she expedited my card without issue. In a time when customer service is almost non-existent, she renewed my faith in good people, quality service and customer satisfaction. Thank you!

1 Rewards are credited to your account the next business day. The monthly earnings of $6 for daily rewards checking assumes that there is 10 daily transactions or a total of 300 transactions monthly at 2 cents. The earnings could be more or less contingent on the number of transactions monthly.   The comparison with the high-yield checking assumes a monthly earning of $4.17 given that there is a minimum account balance of $1000 with an APY of 5%. See Schedule of Fees.  Other conditions may apply.  

2 APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates and qualifications subject to change. To earn the premium APY, members must meet monthly qualification requirements. APY applies to balances up to $5,000; balances above that will earn a lower APY. If qualifications are not met, a base APY of 4.30% will be applied. Fees could reduce earnings. Membership eligibility required.
