Welcome, LINKBANK Customers!

We are excited to welcome LINKBANK customers as members to our credit union family! There are many benefits to being a member of American Heritage and we are excited to serve you!

Over 75 years of revolutionary membership service.

We are pleased to welcome you, as a LINKBANK customer, to our American Heritage Family. On behalf of our entire team, we are excited to serve you and show you what makes American Heritage different from other financial institutions. As a member, you get to experience our commitment to you firsthand.

American Heritage was recently named a Best-in-State Credit Union by Forbes, and was recognized by Philadelphia Business Journal, American Banker, and other organizations for our philanthropy, membership outreach, and for being an outstanding workplace.

We believe in people helping people. Last year, we paid our members more than $100 million in dividends, and we never surcharge members or non-members at our ATMs. In addition to our free financial wellness programs and community events, we consistently donate our time and energy to education, healthcare and financial wellness initiatives throughout the region. Founded by American Heritage, our Kids-N-Hope Foundation has contributed over $4.4 million to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia's Music Therapy Program and other pediatric health and life services since its formation.

Please engage with this exclusive web page for our new members who are joining us from LINKBANK, where you can view helpful account transition information and learn more about our many financial solutions and unique membership benefits. We invite you to take full advantage of your membership by exploring all that we have to offer. We can’t wait to serve you!

On behalf of our team we look forward to offering you the right financial solutions because you’re family. Welcome to American Heritage Credit Union!

What does Membership at American Heritage Mean?

All credit unions are owned and controlled by their members. A share (savings) account is your financial share of the credit union, which gives you ownership and a democratic say in how the organization is run. This is different from being a bank customer, where your checking or savings account is not connected to having a financial stake in the business. To maintain your share account, an initial $15 deposit must be made to your account. American Heritage will cover this fee for all LINKBANK customers when they decide to apply for membership. More details can be found in the Notice to LINKBANK Customers FDIC letter.

Your membership may contain many different products, but on your membership card, you will only see your primary checking and share (savings) account numbers. For more information about your other accounts, please visit a local branch, log into your American Heritage Online Teller or Mobile Teller account or call our Member Concierge Service at 215.992.0225.

I have a Business Account, Must I Become a Member?

Yes, credit unions are member-owned cooperatives. In order to maintain a business deposit and/or loan relationship with American Heritage, a principal or primary owner of the business is required to open a personal deposit/share account with the American Heritage. This is in addition to having your Business being a member. Please refer to the joint letter issued by LINKBANK and American Heritage at the end of February for further details on page 2, under the ‘Becoming a Member’ section. You must complete our Business Membership Form which is accessible here.

I have a Personal Account, Must I Become a Member?

Yes, credit unions are member-owned cooperatives, so membership is required to open a personal account. For more information on how to join the American Heritage Family, please refer to the Notice to LINKBANK Customers letter that was sent by LINKBANK at the end of February; Page 2, section labeled "Becoming a Member". You must complete our Personal Membership Form which is accessible here.

How Do I Make a Loan Payment?

Payments can be made in a variety of ways:

What is a Credit Union?

As a financial cooperative, credit union funding comes from the pooled accounts of our members. We use those funds and fee income to provide members with higher interest on their savings, new and improved services, and a wide range of low rate loans. Credit union profits go back to the members, our shareholders, rather than external investors or shareholders.

When you become a member of a credit union, you also become a partial owner of that credit union. Members have the ability to vote for a democratically-elected volunteer Board of Directors who oversees the credit union. Our President & CEO, Bruce Foulke, reports to this board.

      Will My Savings Insurance Change from FDIC to NCUA?

      Yes, both the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insure financial institutions with the backing of the government. The FDIC provides insurance for bank deposits, the NCUA insures credit union deposits. You can be sure that your money is in good hands. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a government agency that regulates credit unions, insures your savings up to $250,000. Here at American Heritage, members’ IRAs and IRA Term Share Certificates also have $250,000 of additional coverage through the Excess Share Insurance Corporation (providing up to $500,000 in insurance for members’ retirement savings).

      Direct Deposit

      After receiving your new checking account information, please contact your payroll department and/or any service provider with whom you have an automatic debit or third-party bill pay relationship to provide them with your new account information.
