For right now, you should continue to conduct your financial transactions as usual. Your accounts will be transferred to Nuvision after we combine our credit union systems, which is currently planned for February 18, 2025. After we integrate our systems, you will be able to take advantage of all the new branches, products, and services of our combined credit union.
For the time being, it’s business as usual and you don’t need to take any action. You will soon receive a Nuvision Welcome Guide that explains the account transition and all you need to know.
There will be no changes to your accounts until we combine our credit union systems on February 18, 2025. We will work hard to make the integration as easy as possible so you can conduct business as you always have. Please look for a Nuvision Welcome Guide coming soon about how your accounts will be impacted, what you need to do and how you can take advantage of all the new products and services available to you.
Not yet. We first need to integrate systems so we can access your information when you visit a Nuvision branch. You will have full access to all the Nuvision branches after we combine our systems on February 18, 2025.
You will not need to open a new account with Nuvision. When we integrate our systems on February 18, 2025, all existing SafeAmerica accounts will automatically transfer to Nuvision.
You will receive a letter that will include your new account numbers.
Branch hours will remain as they are today.
Please use your existing card(s) through February 13, 2025. You will receive a new Nuvision credit card before this date that you can activate and begin using on February 14, 2025. Activation instructions will be provided with your new card.
Please use your existing cards through February 17, 2025. You will receive your new Nuvision debit card no later than February 14, 2025, that you can begin using on February 18, 2025.
Any existing direct deposits will continue to be processed and you don’t need to take any action.
You should continue to use our current phone numbers for the time being.
One of the advantages of the merger is your accounts will be federally insured through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), a U.S. Government Agency, to at least $250,000 for regular deposits and to at least $250,000 for IRAs. Depending upon the type and ownership of accounts, members could have more than $1 million in share insurance coverage with our combined credit union. The NCUSIF, which is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, insures the member accounts of all federal credit unions as well as most of the credit unions in the country. No member has ever lost money insured by NCUSIF.
Not right now. Please continue mailing your deposits and loan payments to the same location for the time being. You will receive additional information about payments in the Nuvision Welcome Guide coming soon.
This exciting partnership is solely to benefit you. Beginning February 18, 2025, members will have seven branches in the Bay Area plus a large network of 36 branches in 2025 and even more ATMs in five states. Plus, you will have new products and services members have been asking for, including more account options, enhanced technology services, new lending options, and business banking, to list just a few benefits.
Absolutely. Partnering together will provide additional resources to expand our community support programs.
