Credit cards are part of everyday life, but using them well requires more than knowing the basics. This session helps participants understand the habits and mindsets that shape their spending—and how small changes can make credit cards work for them, not against them. This session offers clear guidance, practical tips, and simple ways to build healthier credit behaviors that support long-term financial confidence.

Dear Valued Members,

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and the many kind words you shared with us over the past seven days as we worked through a system outage.

We know how disruptive it is when you cannot access your accounts, make transactions, or use the services you rely on. Your grace during that time meant a great deal to our team.

We are pleased to share that Shared Branching is now up and running again.

We are now focused on two things: a thorough review of how this happened, and the steps we will take so it does not happen again.

We are grateful to serve you and remain committed to the reliable, member-first service you expect from us.

With appreciation,
Jennifer Kutz
President - Avestar Credit Union

Common questions
Will I be charged a late fee if I cannot make my Avestar Credit Union loan payment because of the outage?
No. Late fees will not be assessed on Avestar Credit Union loan payments delayed because of this outage. We will not penalize you for something outside your control.

What happens if I receive fees because of transactions that occurred during the outage?
Once we can fully review member accounts, we will look closely at any fees that may have resulted from activity during the outage. Fees caused by the system outage will be reversed. Members should not be financially penalized because our system was unavailable.

Are my direct deposits and payments still processing?
Yes. Direct deposits, electronic payments, and checks continue to process. Payroll, Social Security, and other deposits are still posting, and scheduled electronic payments and checks are still being paid.

Is my information safe?
Yes. This outage was not a cybersecurity incident or data breach. Member information has not been compromised. The issue was with the availability of the system we use to access and process member accounts.

When will everything be available again?
Our system provider is still completing the restoration process. Teams have been working around the clock to restore remaining services, including home banking and the mobile app, as quickly and safely as possible.
