- AGAmalia GamboaSep 4, 20255.0Me encanta mi importe a esta mejor que cuando estaba con Bank America gracias
- RHR HansonFeb 5, 20191.0Their check holding policy is insane. For an established business account to wait 3 business days to access any check over 1k is preposterous.
- PBP BelleMar 24, 20185.0This has been my bank for about 6 years now, and I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am. No high pressure sales tactics like at Wells Fargo, no ridiculous fees like any other national banks. The people who work there are all familiar and that makes the experience more comfortable. I refinanced two car loans through them at a lower interest rate than my previous credit union, and I have a credit card through them at a low interest rate as well (not that I let it revolve, buy in an emergency it wouldn't ruin me). Whenever I have a question or issue, they are accessible, friendly, and prompt. I was very young when I opened my accounts with them and not financially literate, and they never made me feel dumb or spoke to me in a condescending manner or in a way I didn't understand. They were very careful to explain things to me in terms I understood, and make sure I had all the information I needed to make the best decision for me. THANK YOU, SharePoint, I don't think I will ever open an account at another bank. Even if I moved out of state, I would do everything I could to keep my accounts!
- RHRichard & Esther HeidmannDec 20, 20175.0As this credit union has progressed over the past years, it has been as a member of my family. I have been a member for 50 years and have been treated with the utmost kindness and respect and professionalism that anyone could ask. A super bunch of people.

How can I change my address and update my contact information?
Please contact us at InvestSupport@AccessSoftek.com for assistance.
How can I receive additional support?
Inside the EasyVest product, you will find a Chatbot that is available throughout the product, whether you have an investment or not. The Chatbot can answer most investor questions and is frequently updated to support any new questions that it was previously unable to handle. In addition, Access Softek's team of client service specialists are available via email at InvestSupport@AccessSoftek.com. General requests are typically answered within one business day, but some requests require significant research that may delay the response to you.
How many investment accounts can one member own within EasyVest?
Currently, EasyVest only supports a single investment account for each membership.
Is it possible that my investment account may lose money?
As with any investment, there is a risk that you may lose your investment. Should the market value of your account decline, your account may lose value. However, portfolios managed within an EasyVest account are rebalanced monthly to maintain the level of risk that aligns with your goals.
Is there a minimum amount required to use EasyVest?
The minimum initial deposit required is $200. Once you open your account, you must maintain a balance of at least $200.
What does it mean for an account to be rebalanced?
Rebalancing is the practice of moving funds between exchange traded funds (ETFs) over time to align the overall investment strategy with a member's financial goals. Each EFT is a diversified investment that changes over time. As EFTs change, they may become more or less aligned with an investor's financial desire. When that happens, money is moved around to ensure it is being invested most appropriately. Rebalancing is done monthly.
What if I decide to close my account?
If, at any point, you would like to close your EasyVest account, please contact the team by email at InvestSupport@AccessSoftek.com. You will be charged for any remaining fees if your account is closed before the billing cycle ends. All recurring and/or scheduled deposits and withdrawals will be cancelled. Processing may be delayed up to one full business day to accommodate possible ACH transfers.
The final balance from your closed account will be transferred back to your SharePoint CU account by ACH deposit, which may take up to 3-5 business days. You may not close your account until it has been open for at least 30 days.
What is Automated investment management?
Automated investment management is a data-driven, algorithmic approach to investing. By understanding hings about an investor, like their financial goals and risk tolerance, the automated system is able to process and analyze significant amounts of data in real time to make frequent enhancements to an investor's portfolio. This helps ensure that all money invested in the portfolio is being put to the best possible use according to the investor's profile.
How much can a person borrow?
With our HELOC’s we will finance up to 90% loan to value. We will finance up to 100% loan to value on a Fixed Equity loan.
What types of loans are available through SharePoint CU for a member looking to make home improvements? How does each loan work?
We offer both a variable rate Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and Fixed rate term Home Equity loan. The Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit secured by your primary residence or cabins/vacation homes. The HELOC offers a 7-year draw period, and then a 10-year repayment period. Our Fixed Home Equity Loan is a one-time advance that is then repaid over a fixed term at a fixed rate.

Do you offer loans in other states?
Yes, we are able to assist you with your mortgage in all 50 states.
How long is a pre-approval valid?
A pre-approval is valid for four months. After four months, the credit report expires and a new credit report must be pulled.
What are the first steps in buying a home?
The first step would be for you to complete a personal budget to determine how much you can afford to spend on a home. Once you complete a budget, you will want to start the pre-approval process to determine how much you will qualify for.
What is the difference between conventional, FHA, and VA loans?
VA loan – A loan that is available for eligible veterans. VA loans typically do not require a down payment, will be more lenient on credit history, and have a lower interest rate. If you are a veteran or active-duty military, SharePoint can help you determine if you are eligible for a VA loan.
Conventional – Conventional loans are your best option if you have good credit and are able to contribute 3%-5% (depending on if you are a first-time homebuyer) or more as a down payment. When you have less than a 20% down payment mortgage insurance will be required on a Conventional loan, but will drop off when your loan balance gets paid down to 78% of the initial purchase value of the property.
FHA - FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA loans provide a low-down payment option at 3.5% and are more lenient on credit issues. However, there are more fees associated with an FHA loan and mortgage insurance does not drop off on an FHA loan.
When is the best time to get pre-approved?
If you are looking to purchase a home, we recommend getting pre-approved as soon as possible. Even if you aren’t looking to buy immediately, getting pre-approved will give you time to correct anything on your credit report and time to increase your credit score to ensure you get the best interest rate.
I am having a hard time paying my loan payment. Are there any options?
Yes, we offer a variety of solutions, depending on your personal situation. Visit our Financial Toolkit at www.sharepointcu.com/toolkit or contact a SharePoint CU Representative to find the right solution for you.
Is the Credit Union offering any financial help to its members?
Yes, please visit our Financial Toolkit page to see how we can help. https://www.sharepointcu.com/toolkit

What are contactless cards?
Contactless cards are debit or credit cards equipped with near-field communication (NFC) technology. This allows you to make secure payments by simply tapping your card on a contactless reader instead of swiping it or inserting it into a terminal.
How do contactless payments work?
When you tap your contactless card on a reader, a secure radio signal transmits your encrypted payment information to the terminal. The transaction is then authorized without you needing to enter your PIN for small purchases (amount limits may vary).
Are contactless payments safe?
Yes, contactless payments are considered a secure way to pay. The data transmitted during a contactless transaction is encrypted, making it difficult to intercept by fraudsters. Additionally, contactless cards typically have spending limits for transactions that don't require a PIN.
What are the benefits of using contactless cards?
Convenience: Pay for purchases quickly and easily with a simple tap.
Speed: Transactions are processed faster than swiping or inserting your card.
Security: Encrypted data transmission minimizes the risk of fraud.
Where can I use contactless payments?
Look for the contactless symbol (four wavy lines) displayed at checkout terminals in stores, restaurants, gas stations, and other merchants. Many public transportation systems also accept contactless payments.
Do I need a new card to use contactless payments?
Many newer SharePoint Credit Union cards already come equipped with contactless technology. If you have an older card, you may be eligible for a free replacement with contactless functionality. Contact SharePoint Credit Union to inquire about your specific card.
Can I use my contactless card with a digital wallet?
Yes! Many popular digital wallet apps (like Apple Pay or Google Pay) allow you to add your SharePoint Credit Union card for secure and convenient contactless payments using your smartphone or other mobile device.
What if I have a problem with my contactless card?
If your contactless card is lost, stolen, or malfunctioning, contact SharePoint Credit Union immediately to report the issue and request a replacement card.
What are the advantages of financing through a credit union versus the dealer?
You will likely get a better rate going directly through your credit union. Dealer’s may mark up the rate when using their financing to increase the income they earn on the deal.
Is there a prepayment penalty on RV loans?
No, there is no prepayment on RV Loans!
How long does it take to get an RV loan approved?
Our goal is to preapprove loan requests within 4 hours, assuming we have the information required.
Is it smart to finance a boat for 15 years?
Boats due tend to hold their value better than an automobile. That being said, I think you should look at a payment that is comfortable for your budget rather than just the term. Rates tend to increase once your term extends more than 10 years.
How much money should I put down on a boat?
We offer 100% financing of the value of the boat. Nevertheless, if you are able to put money down towards the purchase that is always a good idea.
Do you have a board of trustees or financial advisors?
Thank you for your question. We do not have a board of trustees however we have a volunteer Board of Directors elected by our members.
