New Fees that Save Trees!
As part of our efforts to Go Green, NJFCU is determined to be an institution that is not only good for its members, but for the environment as well. Our goal is to encourage members to convert from paper statements to e-Statements to reduce the amount of paper waste used on our monthly statements. Beginning July 1, 2010 NJFCU will charge a $1.50 fee to print out and mail paper statements. For members without internet access, computers will be readily availabe in each one of our four branch locations with MSR assistence to help print out your e-Statements free of charge and to inform you on other convenient online products and services. To sign up for free e-Statements, go to www.njfcu.org, go into "View Your e-Statements" and enroll. If our new policy towards the green initiative is an issue for you, please speak to a Member Service Representative to discuss other accommodations.

Volunteers Section
At North Jersey Federal, “People Helping People” is a philosophy that we firmly stand behind. Recently, those of us at NJFCU thought it would be a great idea to incorporate our members into our philosophy. As we continue to grow, we create more and more relationships within the community and our role becomes more significant. In doing so, we feel that your involvement in the community with us would make for an even more effective team. If you are interested in becoming a part of NJFCU’s community outreach program, see the list of events below and sign up via e-mail at marketing@njfcu.org.
Sign-Up
*To volunteer you must RSVP 5 business days before the event. Sign-up via e-mail to marketing@njfcu.org with full name, e-mail, phone number and event.
