Simple tips to help you stretch your dollars further.
At AllCom Credit Union, we know that saving money doesn’t always require big changes—it’s the small, everyday habits that can make a big difference over time. Here are a few smart life hacks to help you keep more money in your pocket:
1. Automate Your Savings Set up automatic transfers from your checking to your savings account—even a small weekly amount adds up fast. Out of sight, out of mind, and into savings!
2. Meal Prep Like a Pro Plan meals for the week, shop with a list, and cook in batches. You’ll save money by avoiding takeout and reduce food waste.
3. Use Cashback & Coupon Apps Download apps like Rakuten, Ibotta, or Honey to earn cash back and find coupon codes for everyday purchases, from groceries to online shopping.
4. Cancel Unused Subscriptions Take a few minutes to review your subscriptions and cancel any you don’t use. Those small monthly charges can quietly add up over time.
5. Brew Your Own Coffee We’re not saying skip your morning pick-me-up—just try making it at home. A daily coffee shop run could be costing you over $1,000 a year!
6. Review Your Bills Annually Call your service providers—like internet, cell, or insurance—and ask if better rates are available. Loyalty doesn’t always mean you’re getting the best deal.
Smart money habits start small, but they can lead to big savings. Need help setting up a savings plan or want to explore budgeting tools? Our team at AllCom Credit Union is here to help!
To help prevent account takeover fraud, AllCom is introducing a new ID verification step at Shared Branch locations.
Starting May 1st, if you visit a Shared Branch and present an ID from a different state than the one you’re in, you’ll be asked to complete a quick, one-time verification using a QR code and passcode before making a withdrawal.
This extra layer of security ensures it’s really you accessing your account — not someone pretending to be.
We want to make you aware of an ongoing scam targeting AllCom Credit Union members. Some members have reported receiving phone calls or text messages from fraudsters pretending to be AllCom representatives.
These scammers may ask for sensitive information, such as your credit or debit card number, one-time passwords, or online banking login credentials.
We want to emphasize that our credit union will NEVER call you and ask for confidential information such as your account or card number, one-time passwords, PIN, or password over the phone. If you receive a call requesting this information, even if the caller ID appears to be from our institution, please hang up immediately and call us directly at the number you know to be correct, 888.754.9980.
Your security is our top priority, and we are committed to taking proactive measures to safeguard your personal and financial information. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

AllCom Credit Union members must stay alert to the latest attempts by scammers to access personal financial data. Fraudsters are spoofing email addresses and phone numbers to make it appear as though they are from a trusted source, such as our credit union, government agencies, or legitimate businesses.
Some of our members have recently received emails, text messages, and phone calls from cyberthieves posing as credit union employees, using pieces of personally identifiable information to gain member trust before stealing account funds.
AllCom Credit Union will NEVER ask you for a one-time PIN or any personal passwords!
Below shows what a digital wallet text from AllCom may look like. Please note where it says do not share with anyone. This code should ONLY be entered directly into your device when adding cards to your digital wallet. Providing this code to someone pretending to be from AllCom allows the scammer to add your credit/debit card to their mobile wallet. They are then able to start completing transactions immediately.
We want to emphasize that our credit union will NEVER call you and ask for confidential information such as your account number, one-time passwords, PIN, or password over the phone. If you receive a call requesting this information, even if the caller ID appears to be from our institution, please hang up immediately and call us directly at the number you know to be correct (888.754.9980).
Your security is our top priority, and we are committed to taking proactive measures to safeguard your personal and financial information. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The new year often comes with the tradition of formalizing goals for the coming months. In a study by Forbes, 38% of adults surveyed said their top New Year’s resolution was improving their finances. This stat comes as no surprise, as financial goals are often tangentially tied to many other aspirations on our list.
Let’s dive into some financial New Year’s resolutions that are easy to achieve and stick to for the long haul!
Build a budget that prioritizes savings
If you’re part of the 38% of Americans prioritizing saving this year, you should know a few key things before you start. First, keep your goal attainable!
The best way to keep your savings resolution is to automate it. Start by picking a budget that prioritizes saving first. The zero-balance budget is a method of managing money where every single penny of your paycheck is accounted for. This type of budgeting lets you consistently automate your savings on payday.
Step up your retirement contributions
If the start of the new year also means performance reviews at your workplace, this goal is easy to tackle! Retirement savings is one of the most important long-term financial goals you can work toward.
Experts recommend increasing your 401(k) contributions by at least 1% annually. If you receive a 3% raise, try increasing your retirement contributions by 1%. You’ll still be getting a 2% raise every paycheck and setting yourself up for success to live a comfortable life when you retire.
Commit to improving your credit score
Have you ever taken a deep dive into your credit report to see if everything is correct? If you answered no, this is your year to familiarize yourself and better understand what impacts your credit score.
It’s essential to know more than just your credit score. Monitoring your credit report once a year will bring you peace of mind and help you spot any potential fraud issues before they spiral out of hand. Remember, you can access one free credit report—which includes your FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) score—every year at freecreditscore.com.
Assess your finances for extra saving opportunities
Saving more than you already are can sometimes feel like a stretch. Assessing your monthly spending habits can uncover extra saving opportunities you may not even realize you had!
Make extra payments to eliminate debt
Do any of your financial resolutions involve paying down debt faster? Commit to putting “extra” money that comes your way to paying down student loans, credit card debt or your mortgage. Prioritize paying off the debt with the highest interest rates first.
One of the most anticipated moves by the Internal Revenue Service every year is the new limits on funding retirement accounts. The new contribution limits reflect cost-of-living increases over the last year.
The IRS recently announced that the contribution limits for 401(k), 403(b), and most 457 plans, as well as the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan will increase to $23,000 in 2024, up from $22,500 in 2023.
The IRS also announced that contributions to IRAs will increase from $6,500 in 2023 to $7,000 in 2024. The IRA catch up contribution limit for individuals aged 50 and over was amended under the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 to include an annual cost of living adjustment but remains $1,000 for 2024. Taxpayers can deduct contributions to a traditional IRA (not a Roth IRA) if they meet certain conditions. If during the year either the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse was covered by a retirement plan at work, the deduction may be reduced, or phased out, until it is eliminated, depending on filing status and income.
As the leaves change colors and the air gets crisper, fall is certainly in the air. Fall is the perfect time to take a closer look at your money matters and make some smart financial moves. Here are some fall finance tips to help you stay on track.
Review your budget and expenses
Where is your money going? Do you need to adjust your budget to make room for certain things, or cut back on others? Fall can bring different spending patterns with holidays and back-to-school costs, so it’s a good idea to adjust your budget accordingly.
Plan for holiday expenses
As the year winds down, it’s a good time to think about year-end expenses. This includes holiday gifts, travel plans, and any tax-related actions you need to take. Planning ahead can help you avoid extra stress come December.
Check on your credit
Take a moment to check your credit report. Reviewing your credit for errors or discrepancies can help you maintain good credit.
Get ready for open enrollment
Fall often means open enrollment for employee benefits. Review your health insurance, retirement plan, and other benefits to ensure you’re making the most of what your employer offers.
Winterize your home
Before the winter frost sets in, take a moment to seal cracks and gaps in your home. It’s like bundling up in a warm scarf for your home. Proper insulation can help keep the cold out and keep your heating and energy bills low.
Save for emergencies
Fall storms and unexpected expenses can happen. Make sure you have an emergency fund to cover unexpected costs. If you don’t have one, consider setting up small automatic transfers to build your savings.
Prepare for tax season
It’s never too early to start preparing for tax season. Organize your financial documents, such as receipts and records of deductible expenses. It’s a good idea to check how much money is left in your FSA account if you have one, too. Consider making any year-end contributions to retirement accounts.
Declutter and sell
Everyone always emphasizes spring cleaning, but fall is also a great time to declutter your home. Consider selling items you no longer need online or through a garage sale. The extra cash can boost your savings or help you pay down debt.
Stay alert for scams involving calls or texts from AllCom Credit Union. Remember, we will NEVER ask for your card number, one-time passwords or login credentials. Learn more.
