Our website offers an overview of all our products and services.

Another tool is this FAQ page which is designed to help you get a bit more detail on specific questions that come up more frequent. However, if you have any questions that are not answered by our website or these FAQs, please contact us so our Member Services Center may assist you during their regular business hours Monday - Friday 8:15 a.m. - 5 p.m.

  • You may also visit one of our branches and speak to one of our representatives. Appointments to apply for a loan can be made in advanced from our Appointments tab to avoid extended wait times.
Note: You must be eligible for membership before being approved for a loan.
Your new debit card or credit card will be mailed to you within 7-10 business days within the month your current card is scheduled to expire. Delivery times depend on USPS services. However, if you have not received your new card within 7-10 business days after your old card expires, please call our Member Service Center at (251) 316-3240 to check the status of your card and to try to expedite or order a new one free of charge.
Night Drop Box items (checks, loan payments, or other deposits) are checked every business day by 8:30 a.m. and processed that same day. Please note that processing times will vary depending on the number of items left in the drop box. If you deposited an item on a Friday through our Drop Box, it will be processed the next business day (unless we are closed for any reason such as inclement weather, power outages, Holidays, etc.). Drop Boxes are available to our members 24/7 at all locations except our Rangeline Branch.

Note: We offer a FREE Remote Check Deposit feature through our Mobile App that can help save you time. Click here for details.
To close an account, you can do one of the following:
  • Visit a Branch: You must visit a branch with a valid ID to close the account. If you live too far from a branch, see below.
  • Out of State/Not Near a Branch: You must mail a signed, written request with a copy of your valid driver’s license to close the account. Please mail that request to:
    • ATTN: Member Services Center, P.O. Box 2966 Mobile, AL 36652.
You have a couple of options if you need to update your address:
  • Online Banking: If you have Online Banking, log in to your account and click on "Services" on the top menu bar. Click on "Update Address Information" and make the necessary changes. Don't forget to hit submit before you close the window. A Member Service Representative will contact you to make sure the changes on your account were made by you before your address is updated on our systems.
    • Note: NHCU will NEVER ask for your Social Security Number, Account Number, or any other personal information via email or phone UNLESS you initiated the request. Please report any suspicious email or phone call to (251) 316-3240.
  • Visit a Branch: If you still live in Alabama and live near a branch, you can stop by a branch and talk to one of our representatives to update your address. Please bring a valid form of ID with the new address on it. If you are too far from a branch or live out of state, see below.
  • Out of State/Not Near a Branch: Please mail a written or typed change of address request to New Horizons CU. Please include your old address and your updated address, along with the name on the account, and last four of your account number. Please sign the request and attach a copy of your driver’s license with the matching address. Mail the request to ATTN: Member Services Center, P.O. Box 2966 Mobile, AL 36652.
    • Note: If you type your request, your signature must be in pen, not digital. Also, remember that if you have family members with their own accounts which you are joint on (such as youth accounts), please remember to include that information in your request so that all accounts you are associated with can be updated. 
  • To submit a payoff request, please type your request to include your name, loan type, good thru date, last four of your social security number (or last four numbers of your account number), and your signature. Email this request to payoffrequests@newhcu.org.
    • Example: I, Jane Doe, am requesting a payoff on my 2020 Ford Explorer, good thru January 2023. Last four of my SSN is: 1111 (or) my account number ends in: 4444. (Please include your handwritten signature here). 
  • If you are in a branch, you must still submit the request with your signature and information above. A representative will make sure your request is received by our Member Service Center.
  • You can type this in an email, but we still need to receive your signature, which can be signed on a piece of paper and attached to the email you send.
  • Note: Please make sure you type the email address correctly. Please do NOT include your full social security number or account number so your information stays secure.
