Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) – Endorsement Requirements
Starting April 1st, due to regulation changes, we will no longer be able to accept checks submitted with improper endorsement. In order to avoid any delays in your deposits, the endorsement requirements are as follows:
- If check is payable to one payee, sign your check exactly as your name is spelled.
- If check is payable to two or more payees, all parties must endorse if there is an “and” between the names (i.e. John and Mary Doe).
- Please mark the box on the back of the check next to “check here if mobile deposit.”
- If the “check here” box is not imprinted, please write “mobile deposit” under your endorsement.
- Failure to check the box or write “mobile deposit” will result in your deposit being rejected.
These requirements must be acknowledged on your device before submitting your check deposit by pressing “Continue”. Please contact the credit union with any questions regarding these changes.

Horace Mann
Dear Educator:
If you’re shopping for auto insurance, take a look at Horace Mann – the company Founded by Educators for Educators® in 1945. Two teachers started our company because they believed educators deserved better protection at a better rate – and we still believe that today.
We offer special benefits that most companies don’t offer – including our exclusive Educators Advantage Package – and an educator discount that can save you up to 10%.
Please let me give you a FREE quote today. And when you decide to make a change, I can help you get a refund from your current insurance company. Start saving today – and put those savings to work by planning for a financially successful future – by calling me at (570) 810 2081.

Annual Meeting
Our annual meeting was held on Saturday, March 17th at Parkland High School. We had a nice turnout with over 150 members in attendance. Annual reports from the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were presented to the membership for review. Eugenia Emert, Nominating Committee Chairperson and Board Secretary/Treasurer, cast the ballot for the election. Robert Bold, Daniel Joseph and Ryan Van Norman were elected to the Board of Directors for a three year term.
Our 10 scholarship winners were recognized for their outstanding achievements. There was a variety of fruit and breakfast pastries to snack on, as well as a full breakfast of french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and more. The morning wrapped up with a raffle of over 30 door prizes. We would like to extend a special thank you to Ms. Lori Seier and the Parkland High School cafeteria staff for the great service and to Beverly Bradley for sharing information about the Cops 'n' Kids Literacy Program.
