Withdrawal of Savings
You may withdraw your credit union savings upon request. However, the withdrawal of savings that are pledged as security against a loan must be referred to Credit Committee for approval. Ordinarily, pledged savings may not be withdrawn.
Members are encouraged to consider taking a loan to meet their needs, thereby keeping their savings (and the insurance they earn) intact.
Always ask staff about the insurance implications if you choose to withdraw your shares.
