Do you have questions about how Notre Dame FCU's ELEVATE program works? We've answered some of our most common questions below.

  • Is there any additional cost to the nonprofit organizations or to Members?

    No. There is no cost to any nonprofit organization or Members. The products and services are identical to standard accounts. There are no additional fees and the rates are always the same as non-ELEVATE loans.
