261.1DCU in Texas? Dream onSCAACT::AINSLEYLess than 150 kts. is TOO slowWed Aug 14 1991 10:158
Re: .0

There is NO DCU branch in Texas.  The closest one is in New Mexico.  You must
deal with them by mail or easytouch.  BTW, if you have a checking account with
the DCU in New Mexico, you may have trouble using the checks as they will be
considered out-of-state checks.

    I was in Austin as an MCC assignee for a couple of years.  I kept my
    DCU account and used it for my main banking.  I opened another account
    in a local bank so that I could cash and deposit checks.  By keeping
    money in the local account, I could even "cash" checks at local ATMs
    without paying any user fee (deposit check with casback option to local
    account).  It worked out pretty well.  There were very few instances
    where a local establishment would not accept a DCU check once my local
    address was printed on it.
    
    You won't be able to use DCU for mortgages, though.  DCU won't write a
    mortgage for any Texas property (at least they wouldn't 2 years ago).
261.3local = YOUR addressPCOJCT::MILBERGMy boss called- Red, Blue or White?Wed Aug 14 1991 23:5110
    I now have my local (New Jersey) address printed on my DCU checks and
    had my address in Georgia on them before.
    
    No one ever made a comment about 'out-of-state' banks.  In this age of
    banking deregulation, you could cash a check on the "East Bank of the
    Mississippee" and if it had your name and address on it, no one would
    notice.
