July 2022 Newsletter

Home. It’s that feeling of connection and belonging; a place where you celebrate victories and work through challenges.  

For 70 years, Fort Lee Federal Credit Union has proudly served as the financial home for our members. On July 20, 2022 our name will officially change to Homebase Credit Union. 

Our new name captures the heart of who we are and how we want to serve you. Homebase Credit Union is a warm and welcoming financial home, and we care for our members like family. 

We’re still the same rock-solid financial home with the same family of employees and members. We’re excited to continue providing excellent service to our current and future members. 

Rest assured, this name change will have no impact on your accounts. Specifically: 

• Our routing number, your member number and account numbers will remain the same. 
• You can still use your current Fort Lee FCU ATM, debit and credit cards.
• You can continue to use your Fort Lee FCU checks and deposit slips.
• Our website, Online Banking, and our mobile app will be refreshed to reflect the new brand, but the functionality will be the same.

Did you know the equity in your home could help you pay for other large expenses, such as education, home improvements, travel, or a wedding? 

What is home equity?
In the most basic sense, equity is the current value of your home minus the amount you owe on your home. 

Why should I consider a home equity loan?
One benefit of home equity loans is typically a lower interest rate than that of unsecured loans, such as credit cards or personal loans. 

Homebase CU is proud to offer excellent home equity options¹ to meet your financing needs. Contact a loan officer today:
