We've Gone Mobile!
By Katie Fuller, Member Service Representative/Share Draft Coordinator
Have you downloaded the Mobile App yet?
We now have free apps for all of your Android and Apple mobile devices! Now you have the convenience of taking your account with you anywhere you go! You can check your balance, review detailed account activity, request a withdrawal, pay bills (with your GPFCU checking account), and even transfer funds!
You may download the Android format from the Google Play Store and the Apple format from the App Store. Just search "Greater Pittsburgh FCU" and install to your device.
For added security - you will need to make sure that you "Activate" each device from your Online Banking Account. By activating, you will get a unique, one-time code that you will need to enter from the mobile device. By doing this you ensure that only devices that you are aware of may access the account. If your device ever gets lost or stolen - you can delete the access from Online Banking. That way you'll always know your account is safe!
You will need to be signed up for Online Banking before you can check your account on a mobile device. If you are interested in getting started with online banking, please make sure you give the credit union a call or send an email to info@greaterpittsburghfcu.org and we'll get you set up!
Please click here for detailed instructions on how to set up your mobile banking.

Make Up for College Savings Shortfalls
Whether your savings failed to keep pace with the cost of your child's college dreams or you forgot to save at all, you still have options for funding a college education.
Even parents who started saving while they were paying for diapers and baby food sometimes lack the funds needed to cover college costs that outpaced inflation over the past 10 years, according to the College Board in New York, a nonprofit association of colleges and universities.
To cover those college costs, consider these steps:
* Start saving now. Every dollar deposited by you or your student now can help cover college expenses later. Make sure you sign up for Payroll Deduction to have automatic deposits into your account. To avoid being penalized by the financial aid process, keep all or most savings in the parent's name.
* If you have several years or more to build savings, check into programs designed to help fund education. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and 529 savings plans can offer significant tax benefits.
* Remember that you'll be able to reallocate costs within your current budget. Money now spent on high school fees, activities, senior photos, and other expenses can be set aside for college costs once your student clears high school.
* Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), provided online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The FAFSA tells the parents and student what type of aid they can expect to receive and what their options are for accessing loan programs. Roughly two-thirds of students receive some form of financial aid.
* Visit the Mapping Your Future Website (http://mappingyourfuture.org/) for information about student loans and other funding options.
* Get your student to help. Earning good grades helps students get scholarships, while taking advanced placement or foreign language courses helps students "test out" of college coursework, which can save money by reducing the time required to complete a degree. Students also can work part-time to build savings or help cover costs while in college.
* Consider attending a community college for the first one or two years of college. Average tuition and fees at a community college are less than half of those charged by a four-year public university, according to the College Board.
* Call Greater Pittsburgh FCU today for information about personal loans or even home equity loans you can use to help pay for the high cost of education.  | | Even before those college years, make sure you are ready for all that Back to School shopping! |
