Member Privilege Is Protecting You
Having a check returned for insufficient funds can be a costly and humiliating experience. That’s why we provide “Member Privilege,” a special Overdraft Protection program for Greater Cincinnati Credit Union’s Personal Checking members. It provides an added level of protection against unanticipated cash flow emergencies and account reconciliation errors. This service can be used between paychecks or to cover unexpected bills and expenses. As long as you maintain your account in good standing, Member Privilege is ready to help with up to a $300 limit on your account.

Use Tellie Online Internet Banking to view your account balances, verify cleared checks, transfer money between accounts and so much more – all from the comfort of your home or office computer. Accessible from our website, it’s the easy and convenient way to manage your finances.
