We know you’re busy. Managing your money shouldn’t slow you down. That’s why we’re making it easier for you to access your accounts with mobile banking and online banking. With our upgraded online banking and mobile banking, we are providing you with a true unified user experience. That sounds great, but what does that mean to you?

• You can log-in with your finger (biometrics) or PIN;

• iPay (bill pay) will also be upgraded and integrated into mobile banking making it much easier to use; and offers new enhancements including making person-to-person electronic payments and account- to-account transfers which includes both intrabank (from one account at Aventa to another account at Aventa) and account-to-account transfers (from an account at Aventa to an account at another financial institution); • Future enhancements include account aggregation.

Over the next several weeks, we will be rolling out this new experience to our members. Visit our website for updates. When the upgrade is available, just download the new updated version.

PCEFCU and SCCU Members!

Are you still using the Pueblo City Employees Federal Credit Union (PCEFCU) or Saguache County Credit Union (SCCU) routing numbers? If you are using the old routing numbers for PCEFCU (307077273) or SCCU (102189324) for ACH deposits or withdrawals, you will need to update your ACH transactions to the Aventa Credit Union routing number (307074690) as soon as possible.

The change to using only the Aventa Credit Union routing and account number is a requirement from the Federal Reserve that requires the PCEFCU/SCCU routing numbers be retired.

Members who are currently using the routing numbers from PCEFCU/SCCU will be notified by mail. If you are unsure if you are using the old routing numbers, please give Nathan Cape, Branch Manager, a call at 719.482.7725 or 800.555.6665 ext. 7725.

Offer valid only for new accounts, must qualify for membership. All loans subject to approval and qualifications. Rates, terms and conditions may vary and depend on creditworthiness. Other restrictions may apply.

Starting January 1, 2016, a randomly selected group of members will receive a letter from Holben•Hay•Lake•Balzer, CPAs, our externalauditor, asking them to verify information on their financial statement. If you are one of the members who receives this letter, please know that this is a regular confirmation process of member statements and your verification of the information requested is appreciated.
