NEED A LOAN? SEE YOUR CREDIT UNION FIRST!
Coming May 1, 2012 –
New Mobile Banking!
Parkview Community Federal Credit Union is making
changes to one of our existing services! In February, PC
Banking was revised and changed to better improve its
functionality. But this time, we’re changing our Mobile
Banking! Coming May 1st, our Mobile Banking (a.k.a.
Touch Banking) will be more up-to-date and will work
seamlessly with our recently changed PC Banking. With
the new and improved Touch Banking, you’ll continue
to enjoy the freedom and convenience of unlimited,
account access!
The new Touch Banking offers access to your account
regardless of what type of mobile phone you have.
Downloadable apps are available for iPhones, Android,
Blackberry, and other Java supported mobile devices.
Don’t worry if your phone doesn’t support a mobile app
because you can still do your banking as long as your
phone is WAP/WEB browser capable and/or Text/SMS
capable. Having all of these different entry methods
on your mobile phone ensures that you always have
constant access to your PCFCU account.
To setup Touch Banking on your mobile device, simply
log into your PC Banking account. Select ‘Mobile’ on the
Services menu then, click on ‘Setup’. You may choose
which accounts you want to have access to in Touch
Banking here. You’ll be given some additional instructions/information, then click ‘Next’.
Next, you’ll be asked to enter your mobile phone number.
Once you’ve entered it, click ‘Next’. NOTE: You should
have your mobile device with you during this process
because you will receive a text message that contains
an activation code which you will need to continue the
setup process. Next, you will be asked to select how you
would like to access your PC Banking account through
your mobile device. Check the box to all that apply to
your mobile device, then click ‘Next’. You can also select
to receive alerts to be delivered to your mobile device
regarding specific activity on your PCFCU account here
as well. This will not change any settings you have set up
on your PC Banking account; it will just add an additional
method of how the alerts are delivered.
You should now receive an activation code on your
mobile device. Enter this activation code on the ‘Activate
Your Phone’ page. Once you’ve entered the activation
code, click ‘Activate’. If the activation is successful, you
will receive a message that states ‘Activation Successful’.
If the activation was not successful, then you will receive
instructions on what you need to do so that there will be
a successful activation. Follow those instructions and
proceed through the setup process again. You will also
receive instructions on your mobile device as well on
how to access the Touch Banking whether it is a link for
the downloadable app, and/or a WAP/WEB browser link
that will take you directly to your Touch Banking site.
That’s all there is to it! So be sure to save the date –
May 1, 2012 and keep an eye out for more information
on our new and improved Touch Banking. If you aren’t
a PC Banking user yet or you have questions about it or
our Touch Banking, please call or stop by to speak to a
Credit Union Representative.
Community Involvement
The Intersection’s Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Some of the Parkview Community FCU staff had the opportunity to serve as volunteers at
Thanksgiving Day dinner held at the Intersection here in McKeesport. The Intersection is
a non-profit social organization that provides hot meals, clothing and medical attention
FREE to those in need. President/CEO Gina Tatkus, Business Development & Compliance
Specialist Lechelle Brown and Member Service Representative Mary Beth Musati helped
other Intersection staff and volunteers prepare a hot Thanksgiving Day dinner for over 50
area residents who didn’t have the means to provide a meal for themselves.
McKeesport’s Annual Festival of Trees
Parkview Community FCU participated in McKeesport’s Annual Festival of Trees in December once again this year. This was the 26th year for the event which displays decorated
themed trees of area organizations and businesses. Admission was $2 but children were
admitted for FREE if they brought a canned good which was donated to the Intersection,
a non-profit organization social organization here in
McKeesport. Parkview’s tree theme this year was “Legend
of the Poinsettia” which won 3rd place in the Inspirational
category. This was Parkview Community FCU’s 4th year
participating in the event. President/CEO Gina Takus,
Member Service Manager Liana Falchetti and Teller Debbie
Puskaric designed and decorated the tree entry for PCFCU.
Catherine’s Children Foundation
of East McKeesport
Once again some of the employees of PCFCU had the
opportunity of making Christmas special for some less
fortunate children in the area. Catherine’s Children
Foundation of East McKeesport is sponsoring the children
of several families that reside in the East Allegheny School District. The non-profit foundation which is headed by the Rosenbayger sisters (Connie, Lynn, Kathleen, Diane) assists
families in the district who are in need of basic necessities. Their efforts are aided by teachers in the district who see a need and convey that need to the school guidance counselor.
The guidance counselor than contacts the foundation to meet that need.
In order to help Catherine’s Children Foundation meet the needs of these families for
Christmas, the following employees volunteered to provide at least one gift for a child:
President/CEO Gina Tatkus, Lending Manager Becky Handra, Member Service Manager
Liana Falchetti, Accounting Manager Robin Vanestenberg, Business Development &
Compliance Specialist Lechelle Brown, Checking Account Representative Noreen Niccolai,
Accounting Clerk Michelle Maddock, Member Service Representative Mary Beth Musati,
Head Teller Tammy Cavallaro, Teller Courtney Gilmore and Teller Debbie Puskaric.
Auberle’s Santa Wrapping Party
Several Parkview Community FCU employees volunteered
at Auberle’s Santa Wrapping Party in December. Some of
the Auberle staff and volunteers sorted and organized
Christmas gifts that were bought for the Auberle residents. The gifts were then wrapped by volunteers from all
over including some of our PCFCU staff such as Business
Development and Compliance Specialist Lechelle Brown,
Accounting Manager Robin Vanestenberg, Loan Officer Roxana Jordan, Member Service
Representative Mary Beth Musati and Teller Debbie Puskaric. The Christmas gifts were then
presented to the Auberle residents at the St. Nicholas Day event held in the Program Center.
Parkview Community Federal Credit Union constantly strives to give back to the communities it services whether it is through volunteering time for an event/fundraiser or donating
to an organization for a worthy cause. It is our way of making the credit union philosophy
of “people helping people” a reality.
WE CARE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY!
The New PC Banking Service Is Here!
On February 7, 2012, Parkview Community Federal Credit Union rolled out its new and improved
PC Banking service. We assured you that the
changes would still provide you with the features
and functionality that you were already used to
but that it would also give you more flexibility and
freedom by providing you with one-click access
to what matters most to you.
All of the newly added features seem to be operating normally and are a great addition to what you
were already used to in the older version of PC
Banking. One of those new features is the option to customize your PC Banking main page
to include the features and functions that you
use most often. You will also enjoy the ability to
re-order checks or access your PCFCU Visa Credit
Card information all with no additional login attempt(s). Just click on the appropriate
tab at the top of the Services menu and you will be re-directed to the site(s) effortlessly.
Another feature that you might find appealing is that you will now have access to your
e-Statements for 12 months instead of 3. We hope that this will be more helpful to you
since it provides you with a longer time frame to access your accounts without having to
contact us to request them.
The new PC Banking allows you to change your Login ID to one of your choice instead
of using your Member Number. This feature adds more security as well as personalization. You also have the option to create Sub Users, people who may/may not be on your
account but who you are allowing to have access to your PC Banking account. You create
a Login ID and Password just for them in addition to setting up special permissions that
they will have once they access your PC Banking account. This is a great feature if, at any
time, you are unable to gain access to your account and need to process transactions.
Hopefully, you haven’t had any problems with the new PC Banking. However, if you notice that any of the features, new or old, aren’t working correctly, please don’t hesitate to
stop by or call. Also, if you have yet to enroll in the PC Banking service at Parkview Community Federal Credit Union, but you would like to, stop by or call the office. Or you can
visit www.pc-fcu.org and enroll. Just click on the PC Banking Login button on our Home
page. When the PC Banking Login page opens up, click on the ‘Not Enrolled? Enrolled
Today!’link and complete the requested information. You will have immediate account
access once the information you entered has been verified.
Parkview Community FCU takes pride
and honor in serving you and your family
while providing security for your future.
Power Of Attorney
A power of attorney is an important document that allows
you to designate another party (agent) to make decisions
on your behalf. Parkview Community Federal Credit
Union only recognizes and honors our Durable Power of
Attorney document. Should you want to appoint an agent
to make decisions regarding your accounts at PCFCU,
you and the agent will need to come into our office and
complete our document. The completed document will
be notarized by one of our notaries and a copy will be kept on file here at the credit
union. Please stop by or call us to speak to a credit union representative if you have any
questions regarding this matter.
