Relationship Rewards

You’re a winner at every level of Relationship Rewards! You are automatically enrolled in this program that recognizes you for deepening your financial relationships with us. All former VIP levels have been converted to a new level based on your relationship with the credit union.

Earn up to Five Relationship Rewards Points

At the end of each month we will determine which of the five relationship points you qualify for based on your LAFCU accounts:

  1. Active Checking (when you make 5+ debit card transactions from your checking account in a month)
  2. Savings & Investments (when you have $10,000+ in deposits)
  3. Vehicle Loan or Visa® Credit Card (in good standing)
  4. Home Loan (a mortgage, home equity, or energy loan in good standing)
  5. Loyalty (a LAFCU member for 15+ consecutive years)

You will be Placed in One of Three Relationship Levels

The new levels are Bronze, Silver, & Gold ... and just like sports awards, you are a winner at each level. Members at any level can APPLY for a FREE CHECKING account then enjoy free access to 30,000+ local & nationwide ATMs.

Relationship Rewards allows you to maximize benefits based on your entire household, which is all LAFCU members residing at your address. Your entire household benefits from the same Relationship Level. If you would like to remove yourself from a household and create your own standalone household, let us know. Your Relationship Rewards Level is located on the bottom of the last page of your account statements and will be viewable inside online banking after June 2021.
