HEALTH AND SAFETY
At On Tap Credit Union, members are our top priority. Being member owned means we are lucky to focus on our members first.
Here are a few things we are doing in order to further support the recommendations from the CDC and State of Colorado:
- Heightened cleanliness - from daily sanitation of surfaces and doorknobs to increasing hand sanitizer availability throughout our branches for Members and Staff.
- Where possible we encourage you to minimize the handling of cash, but rather leverage ATMs, mobile deposits, Bill Pay, etc.
- We’ve asked our staff to stay home if they are not feeling well and have eliminated business travel
- In order to be proactive and exceedingly cautious we have decided at this time that our Annual Meeting will be held via video conference and over the phone, instead of in person. Look for details in your next statement and online.
Please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website using the link below for more information on COVID-19 and how to best manage your response to the outbreak.
fraud awareness
Protect yourself and what matters most to you
CYBER SECURITY
Unfortunately, cyber criminals will utilize whatever opportunities they have to extract personal information from consumers during times of heightened concern. Criminals will prey on concerned people by sending phishing emails regarding COVID-19 intended to entice receivers to click on links they might otherwise avoid.
Please take some time to review this Consumer Advisory to review the latest scams related to COVID-19.
The World Health Organization, Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, and law enforcement agencies around the country have seen an increase in scams related to COVID-19. Scammers are posing as providers of in-home test kits or other financial assistance such as offering government assistance checks in exchange for personal information. Please do not provide information to these individuals as the government will never contact you in this manner nor is testing available in this fashion.
Protect yourself and what matters to you by staying diligent and mindful when providing personal information.
When asking to verify your identity, On Tap Credit Union will NEVER ask for:
- A full social security number
- Full card numbers
- A one-time online banking security access code
- The CVV code or PIN for a card
For best practice:
- Do not click links or open attachments from senders you are unfamiliar with.
- Confirm that anyone requesting personal information is from a legitimate source before providing information.
- NEVER provide login credentials or personal financial information when responding to digital and email communications.
- When in doubt - double check. Independently verify websites by confirming and following their domains manually rather than following links or attachments.
- For additional best practices relevant to scams associated with the onset of COVID-19, please take some time to read through this alert from the Federal Trade Commission.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported an awareness of fraudulent activity and phishing attempts involving cyber criminals attempting to secure personal information under the guise of emergency correspondence. In the event of fraud, you will typically be asked to provide private information like usernames or passwords or you may be requested to follow a corrupted link or attachment.
Please visit the WHO website for more information on how they will communicate and best practices for keeping your information safe.
For the most up-to-date alerts on current scams and fraud related to COVID-19, please visit our dedicated Fraud Alert page.

Managing a budget
Links to check Stimulus Check Status and Advice on how to Handle your emergency Funds
NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO HANDLE YOUR EMERGENCY FUNDS OR STIMULUS CHECK?
Lending options and stimulus checks will be a major relief for many but budgeting and managing those emergency funds is key to sustained financial success. Here are some of our tips for maintaining your financial wellness and maximizing your relief funds.
SET A GOAL AND YOUR BUDGET
An honest budget helps you evaluate your needs, set limits on unnecessary spending, and allocate your finances responsibly so your priorities are always in line. Setting a goal is key to an effective budget. If you are able, keep saving for your unique goal or investigate your budget for opportunities to continue investing in your success.
PAY OFF DEBT AND CUT EXPENSES
Some expenses may already be reduced due to changes in daily habits with social distancing in place, however, now may be a great time to see what items are draining your budget unnecessarily such as seldom used subscriptions or high interest debts. Free up your budget by paying down or consolidating high interest cards and cancel services or subscriptions you rarely take advantage of so your money can go where you need it most.
BUILD YOUR SAVINGS OR CRAFT AN EMERGENCY FUND
Now more than ever we see how necessary it is to maintain a well prepared safety net. Don't wait for the next emergency to start planning for your future. Did you know you are not on your own when it comes to saving for the unexpected? We have savings account options to help you start building your emergency fund as well as options for those with existing reserves in place to ensure your money is always working to benefit you, even when you aren't using it.
SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES
While we distance in proximity to one another we are encouraged to appreciate our local businesses and the unique impact they make in our neighborhoods. Support the local businesses that make our communities the best that Colorado has to offer and know that we will make it through this difficult time if we stick together.
Connect with us to learn more about how you can best manage your budget or emergency funds by emailing us at inquire@ontapcu.org or give us a call at 303.279.6414.

Keep Up with regular updates on how on tap is moving forward
Dear Members,
The past few months have been some of the most challenging our beloved community has ever faced. Together, we continue to fight an invisible adversary – one that threatens our neighbors, our friends, and our family. The coronavirus has impacted everyone.
To begin, we’d like to send you our heartfelt wishes that you and your loved ones are all in good health. On Tap has been around for over 65 years and due to the loyalty of our growing membership, we remain financially strong and are poised to prevail through these unprecedented times.

Furthermore, we understand your concerns around staying healthy and the current economic landscape. By leveraging our strong financial position, here’s what we are doing to support you.
Serving our Members and Employees:

A few of the changes include:
- Enhanced cleaning at the branches
- Requiring that members and employees wear masks
- Taking temperature checks
- Practicing six-foot social distancing
- Providing financial assistance through times of crisis is the heart of On Tap Credit Union. Our teams have provided over $25 million in loan deferments and $350,000 in financial relief via the following solutions. These are still in place that you can leverage if you haven’t already:
- Fee refunds for NSF (non-sufficient funds), early CD withdrawal penalties, and check or card payment by phone and online.
- Removal of savings account transactions limits. You can now access money from your savings account more than six times a month.
- Debt restructuring in which we are modifying and refinancing existing loans in unprecedented numbers at record speed.

- Contactless loan closings which have resulted in over $80 Million in total loans that we have provided to you and your businesses.
- Great rates have allowed us to securely support over $288 Million of your deposit dollars.
- 24/7 access to the Online Banking and the Mobile platform is always a convenient and secure remote solution for you. The need for this has never been greater than during this time with over 500,000 transactions processed through our Mobile and Online platform.
- Through all of this, we are still growing and have welcomed over 800 new members within the communities in which we live and serve in the first half of 2020, bringing our total membership to over 20,000. You can feel reassured that On Tap Credit Union is stronger than ever as we have reached a new high in asset size of $342 million, a milestone we are proud to achieve.
On Tap Strong:
At this moment in time, we are not just a credit union or a financial institution. We are people in the community helping each other. Here are just some of the ways we are helping during these challenging times:
- Donating over $15,000 back into our local communities including support for over 40 local businesses.
- Reaching out to our Coors, CoorsTek, and Coors Distributing Company community immediately to share some of the financial support that is available to their employees whether they are a member of On Tap Credit Union or not.
