ATMss

TCU Members receive free use of AllianceOne and CO-OP ATMs within Indiana. A $2 foreign transaction fee applies to AllianceOne and CO-OP ATMs outside of the state.

Debit Assurance

Debit Assurance applies only to individual debit card transactions. It does not affect recurring debit card transactions (those for which you have set up your debit card as an automatic payment) or purchases made through checks or ACH transactions. Debit Assurance does not approve transactions that will take your account below a negative balance of $500. A fee (or fees) will be charged if your account balance is negative. If you choose not to opt in for Debit Assurance, TCU is required by law to decline transactions when your account balance is insufficient. Standard overdraft/insufficient funds fees still apply if your account balance falls below $0.
