Inquire at this office regarding the location where HMDA data may be inspected. To receive a copy of this data‚ send a written request to:

Street Smart
Get your car on the street with low rates and
great terms on auto financing at District of
Columbia Teachers Federal Credit Union.
While low dealer financing sounds great‚ the
smart consumer knows how to look deeper into
the offer. When there is a choice between a
rebate and low financing‚ you are almost always
better off to take the rebate and use it for a
down payment. Often‚ low dealer rates are good
for only short terms, so you end up with higher
monthly payments. In other cases‚ the low
rates are offered only for certain models.
- Rates as low as 2.89% APR* with 0% down
- Rates as low as 2.89% APR* with 10% down
- New or Used vehicles
Here’s what that means to you:
Borrow $15‚000 at 2.89% APR
Biweekly Payment: $134.40 – or – Monthly Payment: $268.79

negotiate your best deal. Then get the real

way to hit the streets in your new car!

It’s understandable that many people continue receiving paper statements. It’s
what they’re used to!
But you can break that cycle and do something to help our environment at the same time. Simply sign up for
e-statements by clicking on the e-statements icon in Homebanking.
When statements are ready at the beginning of each month you will receive notification by e-mail. Then you
can download your statement whenever you’re ready and wherever it’s convenient. You can save electronic versions of
your statements on your computer and download them into Quicken or Microsoft Money.
Join the high-tech revolution. It’s green and very cool!
We've Upgraded Our Online Security
It's now even safer to process transactions on our website!
That’s because we've upgraded our online security to incorporate Multi-Factor Authentication
methods. When you log in, there is a new set of steps to verify your
identity. This new process makes it more difficult for unauthorized access to your personal information
and you don’t have to install any software.
The major change is the addition of “challenge questions”, a personal identity code and use
of an electronic keypad to enter your pin. We recommend that you do not save the information on the PC
you regularly use to connect to us; this will prevent anyone that has access to your PC from logging on
to your account. It’s simple to set up, and more importantly, it better protects your information!

All D.C. Teachers Federal Credit Union Online Banking users must convert to this login process.

Make Sure Your Money is Hard at Work
Put your tax refund into one of our high-yield certificates.
You’ll get significantly higher dividends than with our regular share account—and a guaranteed
return on your investment. We offer a variety of terms ranging from 6 to 60 months. Call, stop by or click
here to get our current rates and start saving today.
Protect Yourself From Phishing Scams
Phishing is a new type of identity theft that occurs online. Phishers send emails that appear
to come from reputable sources, such as financial institutions or credit card companies. They tell you
to click on an icon or link to be directed to the institution’s website.
The phony webpage or pop-up window directs you to type in personal information, such as
your account number, password or Social Security number. If you provide this information, it goes directly
to the crooks—not to the company with whom you transact business.
