  • Go to www.ileducatorscu.myprewards.com to sign up and register your IECU Debit Card.
  • Choose how you want to receive updates about available offers (text message and/or email).  Offers can also be viewed by logging on to the Online Dashboard.
  • Review the offers available to you.  Examples are $10 off a purchase of $50, or $5 off a purchase of $20.  The offers are designed by the merchants and are automatically applied to your Debit Card.
  • To redeem a merchant’s Preward offer, make a qualifying purchase and pay with your Debit Card.  The savings will be credited to your account and will appear on your IECU statement!

Prewards are a great way to save at places you already shop, so sign up today!  For additional information or questions, please contact IECU.

  • Make deposits and withdrawals
  • Make loan payments
  • Cash Checks
  • Make transfers between accounts
  • Check your IECU account balances

The CU Service Centers network includes thousands of credit unions across the United States.  Shared branches provide a convenient, easy-to-access option for members who are traveling or those who do not live or work near an IECU branch.  When visiting a shared branch location, you will need to provide the name of your Credit Union, your IECU account number, and a valid photo ID.

Finding a shared branch location is easy!  Visit www.creditunion.net, look for the CU Service Centers logo, or call 800-919-2872.

Illinois Educators Credit Union members should continue to use their current checks, Visa Debit Cards, and Visa Credit Cards issued under Sangamon Schools Credit Union. All Credit Union information, including account number and routing number, remains the same. Checks with the IECU logo will be sent to you when you next order checks. New Visa Debit Cards and Credit Cards will be issued at the time of renewal and will be sent to the address on file with the Credit Union.
