Be on the alert

Our members’ safety and financial security is our top priority so, even though we’ve said it before, it’s important for everyone to take this information to heart. If an organization contacts you first, by phone, email, or text:

  • NEVER give out personal or sensitive information, like account numbers, date of birth, Social Security Number, password, etc.
  • NEVER give access to your computer or passwords to any device or site

Glacier Hills CU will NEVER contact you and ask for your name, password or a code that was sent to you via text or email.

Scammers use real company names, like Microsoft and Zelle, and will often present a “problem” that they claim needs immediate attention, using fear and urgency to get you to act right away. Always be skeptical and, if you’re in doubt, call us at 262-338-1888.

Remember, safety first!

Are your kids learning about money the smart way?

Summer vacation has come to an end and your kids are getting back into "learning mode." What a great idea it would be if you could also sneak in a little financial education without them even realizing it. The It’s a Money Thing animated video series is a great way to help your kids understand how money affects your family’s life.

Older kids can follow along with our character, Jen, as she learns how money works in the adult world. It’s a great primer for financial conversations with your almost-adult.

For your little ones, our character, Junior, learns all the money basics and helps younger ones understand the importance of good money stewardship. The little kids’ videos even have corresponding activity sheets! You'll be able to look for opportunities to use the videos to explain and support family financial decisions.

It’s a fun and easy way to set your kids on the right financial path.

Save Big with an Auto Lease Buy-Out

It could be a very smart decision to NOT turn your car in at the end of your lease. Use a Glacier Hills auto loan to buy out the lease instead. Then, you know you have reliable transportation for the next few years (at least) without worrying about hitting the car market when supply chain issues are still causing higher prices in the new and used car market. You’ve got equity in that leased vehicle. Capitalize on it by buying out your lease, and save yourself the pain of buying a new car.

Buy-out your lease with our help

The Power of Purple.

In support of the Walk to End Alzheimer's, all three of our Glacier Hills branches put on the purple! From Hartford to West Bend to Fond Du Lac, and from our lobbies to our staff, Glacier Hills showed strong support for the cause. With purple cookies, donation bins, and even a contest amongst staff to wear the most purple, we're doing our part to put an end to this disease.

Purple is powerful!

Zelle it on the mountain

Zelle® is Glacier Hills’ new, mobile payment app and we’re excited for you to try it out. It’s a great way to exchange money with family and friends safely and securely with just an email or phone number. Split the lunch bill, repay a loan, have your parents send you some emergency cash—the uses are endless, and the transfers are instantaneous. Zelle is the easiest way to transfer cash between trusted sources.
