Important Tips When Using 1st Call
Here's a brief outline of some of the menus you'll encounter in 1st Call.
- Opening Menu – Allows you to access the account selection menu and system instructions.
- Accounts Information & Funds Transfer Menu – Access checking, savings, loan and certificate accounts, as well as allows you to transfer funds and perform other functions.
- Checking & Savings Account Menus – For information on your account balances, previous account activity, last deposit day and amount, specific check information, and dividend information.
- Loan Account Menu – Access your loan balance, payment and payoff details, and interest information.
- Certificate & IRA Menus – For information about your account balances and maturity dates, as well as interest and dividends.
- Funds Transfer Menu – Transfer funds between pre-authorized checking, savings and loan accounts.

Speech Recognition Service
In addition to all the touch-tone options 1st Call offers, it also has a Speech Recognition Service available for those members who prefer not to use a standard keypad. When you call in to 1st Call, instructions on how to use this service will be provided in the opening message.
When you hear the menu option you want, you say it, instead of pressing a key. You want the "My Accounts" option? Just say "My Accounts." And if you ever want to go back a step, it's as simple as saying "Go Back." However, if you're entering monetary information, you'll still need to enter the amount on a keypad to insure transaction integrity.
