Online Solutions

The Internet provides fast, money-saving ways for CFC owners to manage their financial portfolios.

CFC's site on the World Wide Web (www.nrucfc.coop) provides basic information on CFC, as well as links to other cooperative Web pages such as NRECA's site and Cooperative.com.

Most important to CFC owners, however, the CFC Web site serves as the gateway to the CFC Extranet, a powerful online members-only tool for managing loans and investments, and for obtaining up-to-date information on the utility and finance business environment.

e-Pay

With CFC e-Pay you're using the state-of-the-art Passport card for all of your online transactions. E-Pay is our expanded, online Paying Agent Service. Using the CFC Passport Card, owners can use their maturing CFC investments (from Commercial Paper, Medium Term Notes, or Daily Fund) or use their CFC line of credit to pay power bills, vendors or even their CFC and RUS quarterly payments. With a few simple clicks, they can also reinvest funds into the CFC investment of their choice.

Payments can only be made through banks pre-selected by your co-op. We also have our security system tested on a regular basis. On our most recent audit, Price Waterhouse Cooper gave the CFC Passport system high marks for it's online security.

Unlike similar services offered by our competition, e-Pay is absolutely free to CFC members. For more information please contact the CFC Money Desk at 1-800-424-2955.

* While each online user will need to register individually, only one board Resolution per CFC owner cooperative is necessary.

Quick Draw

QuickDraw allows CFC owners to automatically withdraw funds for Commercial Paper and Daily Fund investments directly from their bank accounts. This eliminates an owner's need to call their bank to transfer funds. CFC owners can use QuickDraw for Money Desk as well as PASSPORT transactions.
