    Transaction Accounts – Fees

    As of 1 November 2023, NZFCU members will be charged monthly and transaction fees as per the below fee structure. 

    When Credit Union Auckland (CUA) assumed the responsibility of taking over NZ Firefighters Credit Union (NZFCU) in 2022, an agreement was established to maintain the existing fee-free structure for one year. This grace period was intended to allow members a transition period and to evaluate the financial health of NZFCU.

    At the time of the takeover, NZFCU was operating at a loss, and unfortunately, this trend has persisted over the past year. Despite CUA's best efforts to streamline operations and identify cost-saving measures, the credit union has struggled to achieve financial sustainability.

    CUA recognizes the historical commitment of NZFCU to providing fee-free services to its members. However, the financial reality necessitates a reevaluation of this approach. The decision to introduce fees is not taken lightly, but it is crucial to ensure the long-term viability of NZFCU and to continue providing a secure and reliable financial institution for our members.

    We thank our members for their continued loyalty to CUA.
