FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You may be asking...

System Conversion Information

  • Conversion will take place April 10-13. All former FSB accounts will be fully converted when branches open on Monday, April 13.

  • Some card transactions may be limited or temporarily unavailable April 10-13. We recommend making any large purchases before Friday, April 10.

  • These services will be unavailable beginning the afternoon of Friday, April 10. You can access your new Credit Union accounts through the Y-12 Credit Union website or Digital Banking app starting the morning of Monday, April 13.

  • Bill Pay will be unavailable during conversion weekend. Beginning Thursday, April 9, at 5 p.m., you will not be able to schedule future-dated payments until conversion is complete on Monday, April 13. Any bills not scheduled before then will need to be paid in EasyPay on or after April 13.

  • During conversion, any debit card transactions you make will not post immediately or reflect in your available balance. Transactions will begin posting to your Credit Union account on Monday and will post over the next few days.


Credit Union Information

  • Credit unions offer many of the same services as banks — such as deposits, loans, and financial tools — but operate differently. We are not for profit financial cooperatives owned by our members and guided by a volunteer board of directors. Because we return earnings to members, we’re able to provide competitive rates, low fees, and a focus on financial well-being.

  • In a credit union, every member is an equal owner with one vote, meaning there are no shareholders or profit motives. This cooperative structure unites members through a shared field of membership, and profits are returned to members through better rates and fewer fees.

  • Anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school within eligible areas of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia may join. Membership is also available through the Y-12 FCU Gives Foundation, our nonprofit dedicated to fighting childhood hunger.

  • Yes. Deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to at least $250,000, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Visit ncua.gov for more information.

    *Additional insurance may be available for public funds and other large depositors.
  • Y-12 Credit Union has been serving East Tennessee since 1950. Today, we are a $2.7 billion institution with 24 branches and more than 130,000 members.

  • Our headquarters are in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. With the completion of the acquisition, we now have 24 branches across East Tennessee and Southeast Kentucky, offering more convenient access than ever before.


General Information

  • All FSB accounts will be transitioned to comparable Y-12 Credit Union products. You’ll receive a personalized letter in the mail outlining your specific account changes.

  • Yes. As part of the conversion, you will receive a new member number, and each of your accounts will be identified by a two digit suffix. Instead of having a completely different account number for each product, you will have one member number with suffixes that indicate each account type. This structure is standard for credit unions and will make it easier to manage all your accounts under one profile.

    Here’s an example of how FSB account numbers compare to the new Y-12 Credit Union format:
