What benefits and rewards can I earn from the Relationship Rewards Program?
Benefits and rewards vary and are based on relationship status. Your status is determined by your combined balances on your qualifying loans and deposits. The more you grow your balances, the more benefits you'll earn, like free services, increased withdrawal limits, and more.
Who is eligible for the Relationship Rewards Program?
As an Orange County's Credit Union Member, you're automatically enrolled. Your status is determined by your combined household balances on your qualifying loans and deposits.

Can I combine my balances with my household to improve my relationship status?
Yes! Your Relationship Rewards status is determined by your household's combined loan and deposit balances.
Who is considered in my "household"?
Current Members who share the same physical address as you.
How do I achieve a specific relationship status?
Your Relationship Rewards level is determined by your combined household balances in loans and deposits as of November 30. And, regardless of your deposit and/or loan balances, if you've been a Member for 20 years or more, you and your household automatically receive all the benefits of the Platinum level. Your new status takes effect January 1 and is visible as VIP status in the upper right corner of your December 31 account statement.

What if my household balance increases before the end of the year – will I have to wait until the next year to bump up a level?
No, your account will be reviewed each month, and if you meet the balance requirement to move up a level, your account will be updated the following month. Even better, during the year you can move up levels but you won’t move down.
How do I view my relationship status?
Your status is visible in the top right corner of your monthly statement.
Do youth accounts contribute to relationship status?
Yes! Our youngest Members contribute to and benefit from a household’s relationship status too.
