Why Aspire?

Reminder: Allpoint Network Removed from 7-Eleven Stores as of July 1, 2017

We want to remind our members that the Allpoint Network will be removed from the vast majority of 7-Eleven stores in the United States, effective July 1, 2017.  You will begin to see a surcharge screen on these ATMs as of this date and will be charged a surcharge if you choose to accept the fee.

Online and Mobile Banking

While we do have a branch in New Jersey and New York, we’re able to serve members anywhere. That’s because most of our members depend solely on our electronic banking services.

With online banking, you can access your accounts online to check transactions, set up Bill Pay, make transfers and much more. You’ll also have access to your loans and Mastercard credit card as well.

Aspire Mobile Banking allows you to obtain account balances, deposit checks, view transaction history, use Bill Pay, set up push notifications, find a branch or ATM near you and make transfers between accounts. Mobile banking uses the same login information as online banking. For members with select smartphones, you can use Touch ID to access accounts.

Banks vs. Credit Unions

What is a credit union?

A credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative organized to provide a full-range of financial products and services to its members, who are also owners of the credit union.

Am I eligible to join?

All UPS Local 177 employees, whether full-time or part-time, are eligible to join Aspire FCU. Your immediate family members are also eligible to join. And once you’re a member, you’re always a member, even if you change jobs or move out of the area.

What makes Aspire better than a bank?

Aspire FCU provides consumers with another option to serve their financial needs. Since we are not-for-profit, we’re typically a lower cost alternative for a consumer. Members will also experience personal service because at Aspire, you come first, not stockholders.

Is my money safe at Aspire FCU?

Yes! All savings accounts are insured up to at least $250,000 by the NCUA, the National Credit Union Administration, an agency of the federal government. Not one penny of insured savings has ever been lost by a member at a federally insured credit union.

Can I borrow money from Aspire FCU?

Aspire FCU offers many types of loans from used & new auto loans to home equity loans. We even offer a Credit Builder Loan for those just starting out who need to establish credit or those who need to work on improving their credit score. Our friendly Loan Experts are dedicated to working with you to decide which loan best suits your needs.

How do I access my money? Is there a branch nearby?

There are various ways you can access your accounts. You can enroll in our FREE online banking website, call our Contact Center at 732-388-0477, Option 3, or set up Mobile Banking.
