Digital Experience Upgrades


Self-Help is upgrading

This fall, we're upgrading our website, online banking and mobile app.

What's changing

  • New URL: Starting September 16, an updated and unified website at a new URL: www.self-help.org
  • Updated login experience: You'll go through a slightly different login experience at the new URL.
  • New mobile app: Coming in December, enjoy a new mobile app and online banking platform with added features, enhanced security, and easier-than-ever ways to manage your money.

What's not changing

  • Your member number, account numbers, and routing number will stay the same.
  • You'll still have access to 24/7 member support.
  • Your accounts and information will remain secure throughout the upgrades.

Have questions? We're always here to help. Call our member support team anytime or send a secure message through the app/online banking.

FAQs

Self-Help currently has multiple websites, including both www.self-helpfcu.org and www.self-help.org.

We are transitioning to a single, unified website under the URL www.self-help.org to better represent who we truly are: a family of nonprofit organizations united by a shared mission of creating and protecting ownership and opportunity for all.

Yes. You will use your current username and password when logging into your account from the new website.

When the Self-Help Federal Credit Union mobile app and online banking platform are upgraded in December, you will have the opportunity to choose a new username and password.

Self-Help operates two separate credit unions: Self-Help Federal Credit Union, which is federally chartered, and Self-Help Credit Union, which is chartered at the state level.

The two credit unions serve different geographic areas. Otherwise, they are very similar: they have the same mission and offer largely the same products and services at the same rates. In both credit unions, we are committed to investing in our local communities and serving our members.

Find your state below — for most members, the state you live in will tell you which credit union you belong to.

Yes, https://www.self-help.org is a secure and legitimate website, owned by Self-Help. We deploy the most advanced security and fraud prevention technology, so you can always rest assured that your information is safe with us. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to us directly to confirm.

Emails from Self-Help will be from an email address with one of two domains: either @self-helpfcu.org or @self-help.org. You might notice our email domain changing with the new website; that's still us! We'll be sending messaging from the self-help.org domain, but you might still hear from your local branch staff from a self-helpfcu.org domain. (Examples: [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected])

Emails from Self-Help will never ask for your username, password, or account information. If you're unsure about any communication claiming to be from Self-Help, call our Member Support team directly at (877) 369-2828 to verify.

We are also upgrading our mobile app and our online banking platform. That upgrade will roll out to Self-Help Federal Credit Union members in December.

What to look forward to:

  • New money management tools
  • Enhanced fraud monitoring and alerts
  • Financial wellness tools for budgeting, saving and setting goals
