Yes, We’re Getting an UPGRADE!

Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union has been working hard to prepare a complete system upgrade. We are putting in place robust technology to efficiently process the growth we have experienced and scale to additional capacity. Our new processing system will ultimately enhance our already well-regarded member service as our team is equipped with new tools. Projects of this size do require an adjustment period, and there will be some time when some systems are down.

Below is the schedule for conversion week:

Wednesday, September 30, 2026: We will close at our normal time of 4:00PM. Any pending credits/debits will be posted that day. Please make any mobile and/or online transfers prior to 2:00PM, if necessary. Debit cards will be placed in stand-in mode during the conversion. Stand-in mode allows you to continue using your card with minimal interruption. Our system, including mobile and online banking, will be shut down after closing of business in preparation for our conversion.

Thursday, October 1 and Friday, October 2, 2026:

We will be closed for conversion. Mobile and online banking will continue to be unavailable.

Saturday, October 3, 2026:

Our main branch will open 9:00AM - 4:00PM. All other branches will remain closed. This will be the first day “live” on our new system. We are anticipating the mobile app

and debit cards to be fully functional by this time.

Monday, October 5, 2026:

All branches are open for regular business hours. We will continue to provide updates via monthly statements, email, newsletter, our website, and social media. Please make sure we have your updated contact information on file to ensure you receive timely updates. We are grateful for your membership and trust in the Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union.

Thank you in advance for your patience, particularly during September 30 and October 1–5, 2026. We are confident that this upgrade will allow us to serve you even better for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Aissatou Barry-Fall

President and Chief Executive Officer
