New System. Better Service. Stronger Banking.

As ABD Federal Credit Union prepares to upgrade its core processing system, we want our members to understand that this update is crucial to delivering the highest-quality service you deserve. We know how important your banking experience is, which is why our new system will offer improved products and services that make managing your finances simpler, faster, and more convenient, while also enhancing security and efficiency.  
On July 1, 2026, the conversion may cause temporary service disruptions, including limited branch access and brief Online Banking outages. Please note that ABD Federal Credit Union will also be closed to the public on that date. Early electronic deposits, such as pensions, Social Security, and FCA/Stellantis payroll, may post up to 2 days early as a one-time occurrence, so members should plan accordingly.

  • Account Numbers – Although the classifications may change (Savings, Checking, etc.), the numbers associated with your account will stay the same.
  • Account Statements – Hard copies of June 2026 statements will be sent to members who opted for mailed statements, while electronic copies will be available for pickup at our branches.

  • Routing/Transit Number – Will stay the same after the upgrade.

How can you prepare?

Members are strongly advised to update their contact information and review, print, or download their account histories from Online Banking in advance to ensure uninterrupted access to important information during the upgrade. To do so, please follow these steps: 

  1. Log in to our current Online Banking portal on our website or via our mobile app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
  2. Enter your username and password.
  3. Go to the menu, select Member Services, then click Download Account Activity.
  4. Choose an account from the drop-down menu, then select the date range and the file type you’d like to download. Please note that some activities may be available for a limited period.
  5. Once you receive your login details and instructions for our new Online Banking portal in a separate notice, we recommend logging in and monitoring your account during the data transfer. We also recommend completing any upcoming in-branch appointments and monitoring any major transactions before July 1.

Important Dates to Remember!

  • June 30-July 2: During this period, members will only be able to obtain Point of Sale (POS) limits of $500 and ATM limits of $50. These limits serve as a safety net to prevent transaction failures during our core conversion.
