Introduction: Banking Convenience Anytime, Anywhere
In today’s fast-paced world, people want access to their money whenever they need it—whether it’s during the day, late at night, or on the weekend. That’s why Monroe County Community Credit Union (MCCU) offers CU*Talk, a 24/7 telephone banking service that gives members easy and secure access to their accounts anytime.
CU*Talk is perfect for those times when you can’t make it to a branch or don’t have internet access. With just a phone call, members can check balances, transfer money, make loan payments, and more. It’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—even on holidays.
For members who rely on flexible service beyond Monroe Credit Union hours, CU*Talk provides a smart solution for staying connected to their finances at all times.
What is CU*Talk?
CU*Talk is MCCU’s telephone banking service. It’s designed for members who want to manage their accounts over the phone quickly and securely. You don’t need a smartphone, internet connection, or app—just a regular phone line.
By calling a special phone number and entering your account number and PIN, you can listen to your account information and complete a variety of transactions using your phone’s keypad. The voice-guided system is easy to follow and available 24/7.
This service is especially helpful for members who prefer phone banking, live in rural areas with limited internet, or need account access outside of regular Monroe Credit Union hours.
