Helping You Make Holiday Expenses More Manageable

Holiday expenses. We know they're coming, but for some reason, they seem to creep up on us every year. If you have a loan with us, you may be able to skip your loan payment this holiday season and use that money for something else.

Skip-a-Payment

Skip a qualified AlliedFCU loan payment in November or December and give your budget more room.

$30 fee
No damage to your credit
Extra money in your budget

Complete your online skip form to get started. Please apply at least 10 business days before your loan payment is due.

Skip-a-Pay frees up a little cash to buy the gifts, take the trip or host the holiday feast without regret.

Skip Your Loan Payment

Make Holiday Shopping Easier and More Secure

Before the holiday rush begins, add your AlliedFCU debit and credit cards to Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay on your phone. It takes just a few minutes and will make the season both easier and more secure.

Faster checkout. Tap your phone or watch at the register instead of digging through your wallet in a crowded store.

Stronger security. Your actual card number is never shared with the merchant. Each purchase uses a unique code, and payments require your fingerprint, face or passcode.

Simpler online shopping. Check out in apps and on websites without typing in card details.

Less to carry. Leave your wallet at home and keep your hands free for shopping bags.

To get started, open your phone’s wallet app, tap “Add Card” and follow the prompts. Then you're ready to shop!

Dear Santa: It’s Letter-Writing Time!

The North Pole mailbox is open! Our Letters to Santa program is back, and we’re inviting members of all ages to share their holiday wishes. That means you, too, grown-ups. If you're wishing for something special this year, Santa wants to hear from you.

Write your letter online now.

In December, a few lucky members will be chosen to receive a gift from Santa himself. Grab a cup of cocoa, think about what would make your season merry and send your letter today. Santa’s waiting!

Letters must be submitted by December 11.

Letters from children under age 13 must be submitted by a parent or guardian. No purchase necessary. Open to AlliedFCU members.
