Millstream Area Credit Union CU Answers System Upgrade

We’re excited to share that beginning April 1, 2026, we will be upgrading our entire processing system, including our core account platform, online banking, mobile app, mobile deposit, bill pay and more, to bring you faster service, better features, and more self‑serve options. This major project will require our branches to be closed for two days, temporary limits put on debit card usage, and a brief pause of online services.
