Foreign Debit Card Transactions Blocked

Due to an increase in fraudulent

activity, all foreign Debit Card

transactions were blocked as of

Friday, February 9, 2007. Therefore,

you are no longer able to use your

Debit Card at ATMs or stores outside

of the United States.

If you are traveling to another country

and would like to use your card, please

contact the debit card department at

757.416.6161 prior to your trip. A

temporary release can be applied to your card and then re-instated on a pre-selected date.

For your convenience Beach Municipal also offers single signature Travelers Checks at no charge.

This block only applies to Debit Cards. You may still use your Beach Municipal Federal Credit

Union VISA or MasterCard credit card when making purchases in foreign countries. Don’t have a

Beach Municipal VISA or MasterCard? Contact a loan officer or apply online and take advantage

of our PlusOne Rewards program!

Help Protect Yourself

NEVER provide any personal information,

including your PIN or the security code on the

back of your card, to anyone who calls or emails

you requesting this information. You should also

monitor your monthly statements for irregular

activity. To learn more, please contact a Member

Services Coordinator or visit our website.

Are You a Member or a Joint Owner?

As a member of Beach Municipal,

you can designate anyone as a joint

owner of your account. Joint owner-

ship, however, is not the same

as membership. Joint owners can

make deposits or withdrawals from

the joint account. They may have

ATM or Debit Cards; however, they

are not an actual member and do

not enjoy the same benefits as legal

members.

This is not a Beach Municipal

policy but an actual government

regulation. Per the National Credit

Union Administration (NCUA),

only those people with their own

accounts may apply for loans, have

a Beach Municipal credit card, vote

during elections and enjoy all the

other benefits of membership.

Family Membership

When you open your account, it is

the ideal time to open accounts for

your eligible family members. Once

your family members have joined,

their family members also become

eligible. Plus, family members

can retain their Beach Municipal

membership even in the event your

account is closed.

Preserving Your

Membership

Once you’ve joined Beach

Municipal Federal Credit Union,

you are entitled to use the services

of your credit union for life. You can

leave your employer, move, retire,

and get married. Your membership

is a foundation which can last a

lifetime. Once a member, always

a member!

If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed.

Are You Who They Say You Are?Beach Municipal encourages you to review your credit report every year to make sure there haven’t been any new credit cards or other accounts issued to someone other than yourself. Identity Theft is a growing problem and staying current with your credit report is one way to protect yourself.

You can request a FREE copy of your credit report from each of the three main credit reporting agencies through www.annualcreditreport.com. You may request all three credit reports at once or spread out your requests during the year.

A credit report contains information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you’ve been sued, arrested or filed for bankruptcy. Nationwide consumer reporting companies sell the information in your report to creditors, insurers, employers and other businesses that use it to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment or renting a home. For more information on free credit reports, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website at www.ftc.gov. Click on “For Consumers,” then “Credit” to access the information.

Your Best Deal Starts Right HereReady to go shopping for your next vehicle? Start with the most important option – a

pre-approved auto loan from Beach Municipal Federal Credit Union. With pre-approval,

you’ll have the negotiating advantage of a cash buyer:

1. You’ll know exactly how much you can spend and won’t be pressured into buying “more

car” than you can afford.

2. You’ll waste no time discussing dealer financing. Choose your vehicle, sign the papers

and enjoy the drive home.

3. You’ll deal with someone you know and trust. Beach Municipal puts your needs first,

offering the best rates and terms possible.

4. You’ll avoid unexpected “surprises.” With credit union financing, you’ll know exactly

what your loan costs and never have to worry about hidden fees.

5. You’ll enjoy the convenience of automatic loan payments with regular transfers from your

account or payroll deductions from your paycheck. No checks to write and no hassle.

6. You’ll save money on protecting your investment. Beach Municipal carries GAP Plus and Mechanical Repair Coverage at lower costs than many dealerships, giving you the same

extended warranty coverage for less money.

Get pre-approved today and put the power of credit union financing behind you!

When it Comes to Debt, How Much is Too Much?Whether you’re preparing to buy a house, looking to invest or want to make sure you’ll have

enough for retirement, it’s important to have a good understanding of how your debt affects

your financial situation. Too much debt can prevent you from qualifying for loans or even

getting a job. So do you know how much is too much?

Calculating debt-to-income ratio is one of the most common means for evaluating your debt.

A debt-to-income ratio is a measure of financial stability calculated by dividing monthly

minimum debt payments by monthly gross income. Typically, the lower your ratio, the better

handle you have on debt.

Calculate your debt-to-income ratio:

Monthly mortgage or rent ............................... ___________

Minimum monthly credit card payments ............ ___________

Monthly car loan payments ............................. ___________

Other loan payments ..................................... ___________

Total monthly debt payments .......................... ___________

Monthly gross salary ...................................... ___________

Other monthly income ................................... ___________

Total monthly income .................................... ___________

Debt divided by income = ............................. ___________ % ratio

Note: Not all payments count as debt payments. For example, things like utilities

or phone bills do not count.

How did you do?n 36% or less: This is an ideal debt load to carry for most people. Lenders will see you as a

good risk because you’re able to control your spending in relation to your income.

n 37% to 42%: Not bad, but be diligent. You may still be getting lots of credit card offers

in the mail, but at this level, qualifying for a loan may be more difficult. Begin paying

down your debts now before they get out of hand. If something drastic were to happen or

you were suddenly faced with a large, unexpected expense, things could quickly spiral

out of control.

n 43% to 49%: Take immediate action. Your debt ratio is high and financial difficulties are

on the horizon.

n 50% or more: You need to drastically reduce your debt before it becomes a life-altering

situation. Consider seeking professional advice to get this number down quickly.
