*Shell FCU offers a Skip-A-Pay program during the months of July and December. To qualify, your first payment must be processed prior to the Skip-A-Pay month, you must be in good standing with the credit union and you must be current on any Shell FCU loan(s) in which you are a signer. By participating in the Skip-A-Pay program, you request that your loan payment be deferred. You agree and understand that: the payment deferral will extend the term(s) of the loan(s); 2) interest will continue to accrue on the principal balance at the interest rate provided in the original loan agreement; 3) deferring payment will result in additional interest than if the payment was processed as originally scheduled. If applicable, refer to your GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection) policy for further restrictions. Shell FCU reserves the right to discontinue this program at any time without notice. Certain loans are ineligible to participate or may require signature to be skipped. Check with a Shell FCU representative to see if your loan qualifies. If you do not wish to have your loan(s) skipped please visit your nearest branch for assistance or visit www.shellfcu.org to complete the Skip-A-Pay Opt Out form located in the Tools & Resources section. Your request to opt out must be received by the last day of the month in which Skip-A-Pay is offered.

FRAUD EDUCATION: Card Skimming

Card skimming is like identity theft, but for ATM, debit and credit cards. Thieves steal card information using hidden devices to create new cards with your information – giving them access to your hard-earned cash. Skimming is not new, however technology has improved and given the bad guys new high-tech ways of capturing your card information. 

With card skimming on the rise at ATMs and gas stations, it is good to know the signs of a card skimmer. Below you will see one type of skimming device that is inserted in to the machine to capture card information. If you see fresh or dried glue, a sticky residue or loose card reader do not swipe your card. Call authorities and move to another machine. 

Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at any Shell FCU branch or by telephone at 713-844-1100. Protecting your funds is our top priority. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you!

Important Shared Branching Notice

We are continuously implementing and improving services to meet the needs of our membership. Over the past several years we have tripled the number of Shell FCU branch locations and ATMs, enhanced the capabilities of our phone system and online banking, and implemented the mobile banking app and mobile wallet technology. These services give you convenient access to your accounts, transactions, deposits, card services, and much more.

Your deposits and loan activity fund the products and services offered by your credit union. Each product, service, rate or fee is analyzed to make decisions in the best interest of all our members. In analyzing member activity over the course of a year, only 4% of our 80,000 members use a Credit Union Service Center (also known as Shared Branching) to perform deposit or withdrawal transactions. Effective July 1, 2017, Shell Federal Credit Union will no longer participate in the Shared Branching program.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to speak with a Shell FCU Representative about the alternative options available to access your funds. Our Shell FCU website is also another amazing resource to browse products, services, events, and important information about your credit union. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us by phone at 713-844-1100 from 7:30AM CST to 7PM CST Monday through Friday and 9AM CST to 12:30PM CST on Saturday, through social media or at any Shell FCU branch. 

We appreciate your business and appreciate every opportunity to serve you!
