Great news!  We now have a new telephone number for debit card holders to use to be able to change their PIN.  Members can use 1-800-757-9848 to call Card Self Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

New card holders will use this number to both activate their new card and select a PIN.

Existing card holders will use this number to change their PIN number. 

We will no longer be sending PIN mailers or using reference numbers to change the PIN.

We now offer auto loan pre-approvals for members looking to purchase a new or used auto from a new car dealer.  Why should you consider getting pre-approved?

 * The loan paperwork will be almost completely finished before you even start shopping.

*  You will improve your negotiating power by having your financing already set up.

*  You will know your maximum loan amount so that you don’t get yourself into a loan that you really cannot afford.

*  You will know what your bi-weekly payment will be before committing to buying a car.

Buying a new car is fun and exciting, but at the same time it can be stressful.  We want to help you feel more comfortable and confident when you walk into the car dealer and we believe that getting pre-approved is a big step in that direction.

Please speak with anyone on staff for more details, and to learn about rates and terms and conditions.

We will be closing at 3:45pm on the fourth Wednesday of each month (with the exception of November 2020) so that we can have a Staff Meeting.  The dates are as follows:

 December 23

PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY!! 

If you are NOT a member of Medisys EFCU and have received a business check in the mail that appears to have been issued by us (Medisys Employees FCU, 8900 Van Wyck Expressway, Jamaica, NY 11418) chances are high that this is a fraudulent / counterfeit check.  Please do not deposit or try to cash these checks without calling us to confirm its legitimacy.  Our telephone number is 718-206-8216, and you can call us Monday - Friday, 9am - 4:30pm.

Medisys EFCU Visa Debit Card holders can now enroll their card in Visa Purchase Alerts in order to closely monitor their transaction activity.  When you sign up to receive Purchase Alerts, you will set up parameters and then receive an email and/or a text message when a qualifying transaction takes place. Purchase Alerts help you keep better track of your money and identify fraudulent transactions more quickly.  Triggers can include: dollar amount, international transactions, or card-absent transactions.  Sign up at Visa.com/PurchaseAlerts and start receiving alerts today!

Due to high levels of fraud that have been reported internationally and in an effort to protect our members' accounts, we have blocked transactions originating from certain countries. The list of blocked countries is growing quickly, so please assume that the country you will be traveling to is blocked.  If you will be traveling internationally and would like to use your card, please let us know so we may assist you.
