When credit cards are used responsibly, they can be a useful tool for building credit history and developing other good financial behaviors—a necessity for reaching big financial milestones like buying a car, purchasing a home, sending a child to college and more.

We’ll be honest: Our credit cards are like other common products in the marketplace. What’s different is our approach to opening a credit card. We want members to have a clear reason for the credit card, and align spending with those goals. Our mission, to help Christians bring balance to their money, applies to this tool just like our other financial solutions.

When you open a credit card with Thrivent Credit Union (TCU), we’re not interested in piling on more debt for you and your family. Actually, the opposite. We’ll show you how managing credit with TCU can:

1. Boost your credit score.
2. Give you access to perks that lead to giving and saving more.
3. Open doors to new tools that will allow you to track spending and set up a budget that actually works.

You’ll have access to resources that will help you balance your money. It means you’ll benefit from a competitive rate on a financial tool that, when used responsibly, can help you reach goals. It means all of your banking activities are hosted with a financial institution that has your best interest in mind.

Cards are valid until the end of the month in which they expire. Replacement cards are sent out during the middle of the month prior to the month of expiration. For example: A card expiring in September will have the replacement card sent in the middle of August. Please allow 10-14 business days for delivery.

Within online banking, you’ll find Secure Message in the navigation menu, or you can click Support in the top right-hand corner and click Secure Messaging.

A representative will validate recent transactions on the card to ensure all transactions are valid. If any transactions are fraudulent, we can assist in disputing these items. If you believe your card may be lost within your home or another uncompromised location and you would like to look for the card before ordering a new card, we can place a temporary block on the card.

There are a variety of reasons why authorizations can be denied. A representative will be able to provide details as to why a transaction was declined. You can reach us at 866-226-5225, or by using secure support in online banking, or live chat within online banking.

Each owner or account signer on a checking account is provided their own card with their own unique card number.

Currently, we do not offer debit cards for savings accounts.

When using your card at a merchant, an amount will appear as a pending transaction within online or mobile banking until the final transaction is cleared and the pending transaction is removed. In some cases, the dollar amount of the pending transaction may not match your purchase amount. Some merchants may “hold” a certain dollar amount until the final transaction is processed (for example: pay-at-the-pump transactions). A zero-dollar pending transaction could also be a test transaction submitted by the merchant to ensure proper debit card information was provided for a recurring charge.

To ensure your card works properly when traveling, contact us prior to the date of travel to place a notification on your profile. To send a notification now complete this form: Debit Card Travel Notification. It may take one business day to process your request. You can also report upcoming travel by sending a secure message within online banking, or during normal business hours by using live chat within online banking or calling our contact center.

Thrivent Credit Union debit cards can be used for international transactions in most countries*. For all transactions outside of the US, Mastercard charges a 1% transaction fee. In some locations, ATM fees are combined with other transaction fees, which causes our system to not be able to read that fee for reimbursement. We suggest keeping all ATM receipts that can be submitted for reimbursement of the ATM fee.

*Due to high fraud risk and other factors, some countries are blocked for certain or all types of transactions. We advise notifying us of any international travel plans. To send a notification now please complete this form: Debit Card Travel Notification. Please allow one business for processing.

While we make every attempt to make your funds available whenever and wherever possible, we do suggest taking a backup form of payment whenever traveling, especially internationally. We also strongly suggest using your PIN for transactions when traveling as this lessens the risk of fraud. Additionally, ATMs in foreign countries may have limited amounts of cash, especially those in areas that require cash payments. It is suggested to take a small amount of cash with you.

Mastercard charges a 1% conversion fee on transactions made or originated outside of the US.

The post office will not forward monetary instruments, they will be returned to the credit union.

Debit cards must be activated thru the IVR (phone) system. To activate, dial 866-226-5225 and when prompted say “Debit Card”; when further prompted, say “Activate.” You must have the debit card present for activation.

You can reset your PIN by calling 866-226-5225. When prompted, say "Debit Card" and then at the next prompt say, "Change PIN." The Debit card must be present for PIN changes.

We recommend choosing a new number.

To better understand the reason, call us at 866-226-522. Within online banking, you can also live chat or send a secure message.

The standard daily limit for ATM withdrawals is $1,000. The standard daily limit for point-of- sale (POS) transactions/purchases is $3,500.

Only account signers on a checking account are allowed to have a debit card connected to that account.

When your current card expires or is reissued for another reason, your new card will be a contactless card.

There are many benefits to contactless payments:

• You're in control because your contactless-enabled card or device never leaves your hand at checkout.
• It's fast and ideal at places where speed is essential, like stadiums, fast food restaurants, gas stations and more.

Simply tap to pay anywhere you see the contactless symbol at checkout. This includes fast food restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, pharmacies, stadiums and more.
Find participating locations
If you don't see the contactless symbol, your contactless-enabled card can still be used by inserting your chip or swiping at checkout.

To make a purchase, simply tap your Mastercard contactless card, or smart phone on the payment reader when checking out at participating retail locations.
Find participating locations

You can make contactless payments on any contactless payment reader that displays the contactless symbol. You may also use contactless cards in magnetic stripe readers by swiping the card. However, you cannot use a contactless smart phone in a magnetic stripe reader.

Typically, when you tap your card/device at checkout, it must be within an inch or two of the contactless symbol on the terminal at the counter. Please note that if you have more than one contactless card in your wallet, you should remove the specific card you would like to use rather than tapping your wallet against the reader.

Contactless uses a hidden, embedded computer chip and radio frequency antennae. After you tap your contactless card or device at checkout, payment details are sent wirelessly to the Mastercard network. If using a mobile phone, moments after you tap, you'll receive payment confirmation and be on your way.

Yes. Contactless payments provide secure encryption technology and Zero Liability Protection and are as secure as your regular card.

• You're in control – your contactless-enabled card or device never leaves your hands to make a payment
• No accidental payments – your contactless-enabled card or device must be close to the reader at checkout to work
• Not billed twice – even if you tap more than once at checkout, you'll only get billed once for your purchase

Text banking gives you access to your accounts via text (SMS) messages on your phone. It's a fast, easy way to look up account balances or recent account history by sending a text command to a shortcode.

We recommend you print your activation code and installation instructions for easy reference during installation.

Thrivent Credit Union partners with a third-party student loan service provider after your education loan, line of credit or refinance loan has been approved and funded. TCU has selected ZuntaFi to service your education loan. ZuntaFi provides several options for you to pay your loan and for you to contact them.

Register to view and pay your loan here: ZuntaFi - Honest Financial Solutions

Customer Service and pay by phone: (800) 592-1270
Send payments to:

ZuntaFi
PO Box 4500
Aberdeen, SD 57402-4500

Email questions to: service@zuntafi.com

Thrivent Credit Union may sell your loan. We expect that ZuntaFi¹ will continue to service your loans so you will see no changes in where you send your payments. There is no intention to sell your loans to another third party.

ZuntaFi¹ is the company we chose to service our Private Student Loans after they have been approved and the funds are disbursed to the school. You can reach ZuntaFi at (800) 592-1270.

As the student borrowing money, you are responsible for repaying the loan. If you have a co-signer, both you and your co-signer share responsibility to repay the loan.

If you are having a hard time making regular payments on time, we encourage you to talk to our post-origination servicer, ZuntaFi¹ to see what options are available to you.

ZuntaFi¹ is the company we chose to service our Private Student Loans after they have been approved and the funds are disbursed to the school. You can reach ZuntaFi at (800) 592-1270.

You will be underwritten for up to a maximum of $80,000 (or the amount you qualify for) and will be allowed disbursement draws up to the amount certified by your school or your credit limit, whichever is less. Each year you will request a draw for the amount you will need for that school year, generally. You will not need to reapply each year assuming there is no significant decrease in the borrower or co-signer's creditworthiness.

The minimum is $1,000 per year. The maximum loan amount will be the certified need determined by your school, up to a maximum of $80,000 per student for the remainder of their graduate or undergraduate education. The certified need is typically the Cost of Attendance (COA) less other financial assistance and aid received.

Because our product is structured as a line of credit, you do NOT need to complete an entirely new loan application. Instead, you will simply need to request additional funds from your existing line of credit. Log in and click on the link for your open line of credit. Then from the Borrower Information screen you will enter in the requested draw amount. Follow through the rest of the process to submit the request.

Funds are disbursed to your school based on the school's disbursement cycle. You will request the specific draw amount from the line of credit each year and the funds will be sent to your school. In most cases, your school will instruct us to split your academic year funding so that half is disbursed for your Fall semester and the remaining portion is sent to cover your Spring semester. This saves you money, as interest on your loan does not start accruing until funds are actually disbursed when needed by the school.

You should typically request a draw on your existing line of credit between May—July for each academic year of funding that you require. Your request for funds should cover both the Fall and Spring semesters. Remember to first take advantage of other sources of financing including Federal loan programs recommended by your school's financial aid office.

There are two ways a co-signer can be released from paying the loan, meaning he or she is no longer responsible to repay it. First, after making 24 consecutive monthly payments on time the student can request to have the co-signer released. Releases are not automatic. The student also has to meet certain credit requirements, which will be the same as or similar to those applicable to students applying for loans by themselves. Second, if the student borrower dies, the co-signer can be released and won't be responsible for repayment.

Yes. You may be eligible to open both Traditional and Roth IRA accounts; however, you cannot exceed IRS contribution guidelines for the tax year in which you are making your contributions.

Yes, provided certain conditions are met. The working spouse must have earned the income he or she is contributing to both IRAs. In addition, spouses must file a joint tax return. The working spouse's total contribution to the IRA is limited by certain factors, such as the spouse's taxable compensation, contributions to a Traditional or Roth IRA and his or her age.

No, IRAs are issued to individuals only.

Yes, if the child has earned income.

Transfers move money from one account to another of the same type (for example, from a Traditional IRA to Traditional IRA or Roth to Roth, where the dollars move directly from one institution to another without the member ever having receipt of the funds). Members are allowed unlimited transfers from account to account. The IRS does not deem this a taxable event, so no tax forms will be sent.

A rollover involves moving funds from one type of qualified retirement plan to another type of qualified retirement plan. (The most common example is a 401(k) to a Traditional IRA). A rollover can also happen when funds are sent directly to the member and they have constructive receipt of the funds. They then have 60 days to roll the funds into either a new IRA or back into the IRA that they were originally taken from. Individuals are permitted one rollover per account per calendar year. This, however, is a taxable event, and you will receive tax forms for the withdrawal and for the rollover contribution.

Yes. These are examples of a Traditional/Roth IRA transfer(s) (Mutual Fund or Annuity IRA to Thrivent Credit Union IRA).

There is a 10-day grace period following the maturity date of your IRA Certificate, during which you may add funds, remove funds, change the term, or close the IRA account. An IRA Certificate will automatically renew after the grace period is over, unless you direct us otherwise.

With Traditional IRAs, you must begin taking withdrawals by April 1 following the year in which you turn 72.

Yes. We will automatically calculate the RMD if the IRA account was held at Thrivent Credit Union as of 12/31 of the previous year, or we can manually calculate the RMD based on information supplied by you.

We send two tax forms to members who had IRA account activity in the previous tax year:

• For 1099/1099-SA forms, these are mailed to members by Jan. 31. You can expect to receive them within 7–10 business days after the mailing date.
• For 5498/5498-SA forms, these are processed after the tax filing deadline, generally April 15, since members can still contribute for the prior year up to this date. These forms are mailed to members by mid-May. You can expect to receive them within 7–10 business days after the mailing date.

This information is not intended and should not be construed as legal, investment or tax advice. Please consult your attorney, tax advisor or other appropriate professional for such advice, including advice regarding the deductibility of contributions and advice on how this information applies to your individual circumstances. Thrivent Credit Union cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information or the applicability of it to your individual circumstances and does not bear any liability as a result of your reliance on this information.

An HSA is a tax-advantaged medical savings account that allows you to accumulate savings to pay for current and future qualified medical expenses. The account must be used in conjunction with an HSA-qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP), and you cannot be enrolled in Medicare or eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. You can have no other first-dollar medical coverage (other types of insurance like specific injury insurance or accident, disability, dental care, vision care, or long-term care insurance are permitted). Please confirm with your health insurance company that you have a HSA-qualified HDHP.

A high deductible health plan is a health insurance plan with a minimum deductible of $1,400 (individual) or $2,800 (family) for 2022. In addition, the annual out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles and co-pays, cannot exceed $7,050 (individual) and $14,100 (family) for 2022. The limits may be adjusted annually to allow for cost-of-living adjustments. Confirm with your health insurance provider that you have an HSA qualified HDHP.

See Publication 502 Medical and Dental Expenses for additional information. IRS Publications may be downloaded from the IRS website, www.irs.gov, or ordered by calling 800-829-3676.

Potential triple tax savings may include:

• Tax deductions when you contribute to your account (check with tax advisor for qualified federal and state tax deductibility).
• Tax-free earnings.
• Tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses.

The amount you or any other person can contribute to your HSA depends on the type of HDHP coverage you have, your age, the date you became an eligible individual, and the date you cease to be an eligible individual. For 2022, if you have individual-only HDHP coverage, you can contribute up to $3,650. If you have family HDHP coverage you can contribute up to $7,300. For 2023, if you have individual-only HDHP coverage, you can contribute up to $3,850. If you have family HDHP coverage you can contribute up to $7,750. Like an IRA, contributions can be made until tax filing deadline, normally April 15, of the following year. The limits may be adjusted annually to allow for cost-of-living adjustments.

Individuals age 55 and older can make additional catch-up contributions. The maximum annual catch-up contribution is $1,000 for individuals or married couples. A married couple can make catch-up contributions into their own HSA as long as both spouses are at least 55 years old and meet eligibility requirements to contribute.

Distributions from an HSA are tax-free if taken for a qualified medical expense permitted under federal tax law, including:

• COBRA continuation coverage.
• Health plan coverage while receiving federal or state unemployment benefits.
• Qualified long-term care insurance premiums.
• Medicare premiums.

The distribution is also tax-free if taken for the person covered by the high deductible health plan (HDHP), the spouse of the individual and any dependent of the individual. Spouses and dependents do not need to be covered by the HDHP.

If the distribution is not used for a qualified expense, the amount you withdraw will be subject to income tax and may be subject to an additional 20% tax. You do not have to take distributions from your HSA each year. There is no 20% additional tax on distributions made after the date you are disabled, reach age 65, or die.

The account holder is encouraged to keep his or her receipts in the event they may someday be asked to prove to the IRS that the distributions were for medical expenses.

If your spouse becomes the owner of the account, your spouse can use it as if it were his or her own HSA. If you are not married, the account will no longer be treated as an HSA upon your death. The account will pass to your beneficiary or become part of your estate (and be subject to any applicable taxes).

The information above is not intended and should not be construed as legal, tax or investment advice. For such advice, including advice on how this information applies to your individual circumstances, please contact your attorney, tax advisor or other appropriate professional.

Find more information in Publication 969 at www.irs.gov.

We send two tax forms to members who had HSA account activity in the previous tax year:

• For 1099/1099-SA forms, these are mailed to members by Jan. 31. You can expect to receive them within 7–10 business days after the mailing date.
• For 5498/5498-SA forms, these are processed after the tax filing deadline of April 15, since members can still contribute for the prior year up to this date. These forms are mailed to members by mid-May. You can expect to receive them within 7–10 business days after the mailing date.
