Make the Move to Smarter Account & Money Management

October 22, 2025

When it comes to managing your money, sometimes the simplest solutions make the biggest difference. That’s why NASA Federal Credit Union offers a suite of smart services like eAlerts, Card Fraud Alerts, Digital Banking tools, and high-yield savings accounts, that give members more control, more peace of mind, and more opportunities to grow.
 
“These solutions are about making everyday money management easier,” says Brooks Perry, NASA Federal Director of Marketing. “When you know exactly what’s happening with your accounts and you’ve matched your savings to your goals, you’re not just managing your money. You’re mastering it.”
 
Here’s a closer look at how these features work, and how they can help you achieve your goals.
 
Real-Time Alerts That Keep You Smart & Informed
 
NASA Federal’s eAlerts let you know what’s happening with your accounts the moment it happens. In fact, debit and credit card holders are automatically enrolled in our Card Fraud Alerts, making you aware of suspicious charges right away. Plus, you have the option to set additional eAlerts to notify you when deposits post, balances change, or even when your card is used. “That kind of instant awareness is powerful,” says Perry. “It means you’ll spot a low balance before it causes overdrafts, or know if unauthorized use is occurring on your cards. These alerts give you peace of mind and time to act.”
 
Digital Tools That Plan, Analyze, & Save
 
Managing your money shouldn’t feel like a chore. That’s why NASA Federal makes it easy with Digital Banking. From setting card controls to financial planning, you can manage your accounts whenever and wherever it works best for you. You also have access to a powerful budgeting tool to track your spending habits, so you know exactly where your money is going. Plus, you can create and track savings goals - even set automatic transfers to help reach your financial goals faster. “These tools help members manage finances efficiently, save money, and focus on long-term goals,” Perry says.
 
Savings That Grow with You
 
Whether you’re building an emergency fund or planning for the future, NASA Federal offers flexible savings options designed to match your goals.
 
Money Market Accounts give you easy access to funds while earning competitive rates. “These are perfect for short-term goals or rainy-day funds,” explains Perry. “You keep liquidity, but your money still works harder than in a standard savings account.”
 
For longer-term growth, Share Certificates lock in some of the highest yields in the nation. “A certificate is a smart way to earn more when you don’t need immediate access to your funds,” Perry adds.
 
Even a basic Savings Account, which can be opened with as little as $5, offers a simple starting point. “Sometimes the smartest thing is just getting started,” Perry says. “Even small deposits build momentum.”

Smarter Money, Every Day
 
“Managing your finances isn’t about complicated systems,” concludes Perry. “It’s about simple habits: setting alerts, using digital tools that make it easy, and choosing the right savings vehicle. Do that consistently, and you’ll always feel in control of your money.”
 
With NASA Federal, smarter account and money management is built in. So, you can focus on what matters most.
