Some institutions choose to send all the accounts that you are associated with in the data feed when your accounts are initially linked. This is a great benefit to allow you to see everything in one spot, but it may be more than what you want. You may be associated with an account for your child, spouse, or business that you don’t want to show in your personal budgets.

The exclude account button will help you keep track of totals and view transactions, but the transactions aren’t calculated into any of your other views. This will help you to see exactly what you want to see!

When transactions are imported, they are auto categorized based on previous categorizations of similar transactions as well as those of other authorized users. The process is an estimate based on trends and characteristics of the transaction. The authorized user also has the option to review and re-categorize where needed. When you change a transaction category, Insights PFM will remember your preference for next time.

Keeping your financial information safe and secure is very important to us. Our online services offer you the best security currently available in a commercial environment so that your personal and financial information is protected.

Insights is available free-of-charge to all our members.

When accounts are initially added to an external account, an initial request of 90 days of history will be made. After the initial account setup, Insights PFM will pull new transactions from the last 30 days, so you must sign in at least once every 30 days to avoid creating a gap in your data.

During your application appointment you will receive and review with your loan officer your Estimate of cash to close or Loan Estimate along with several other disclosures. We will then submit the loan to FannieMae's Desktop Underwriter for initial credit and underwriting approval. Processing follows when we may obtain additional verification of income or assets, order the appraisal and title work. The loan is underwritten and cleared to close. A closing appointment is scheduled and you are contacted to set up a convenient time to close at our office.

Yes, members can refinance for a lower rate, shorter term, or to get cash out for other needs. We can save members from paying many fees and associated closing costs as our costs are usually much lower than what other lenders charge. Call us at 913-599-1010 to learn more about how to refinance your existing mortgage.

No, we often pre-approve members by having them complete a mortgage loan application before they shop for a home. Once your application is approved, you can select a home that is within the range of the dollar amount of your pre-approval.

The definition of junk fees will differ depending on who is asked the question, but in general refer to charges a lender assesses over and above real hard dollar costs. At Mainstreet, the only non third-party fees are a $995 origination fee charged on all loans, along with wire fees and overnight fees when applicable. Mainstreet does not "farm out" the processing, underwriting, or closing functions. Mainstreet also does not and has never "padded" fees. We pride ourselves in having very low and reasonable closing costs.

Rates change daily and are available by 10:00 A.M. Monday through Friday. You may also call Mainstreet at 913-599-1010 (toll free 888-395-1010). Our Call Center can provide rates, but if you have further questions you can ask for a member of the mortgage department.

Retaining servicing means that Mainstreet will take care of your loan after closing. We receive and post your payments and pay taxes, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance out of your escrow account (if you have an account set up for this purpose). We also perform annual escrow analysis, issue payoff requests (we don't charge any payoff statement fee or fax fee for this service) and perform collection activity if that becomes necessary. Retaining servicing is very important to us because it allows us to take care of our members after closing and do other nice things for you, such as paying dividends on your escrow account!

Unlike the primary mortgage market between borrowers and lenders, the secondary mortgage market is where lenders and investors buy and sell existing mortgages. Selling mortgages allows Mainstreet to offer the products you want - long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans with low down payment options. By selling the loan in the secondary market, Mainstreet eliminates a significant amount of interest rate and/or portfolio risk.

Update on OBBBA’s “No Tax on Car Loan Interest” Provision

  • We will send an informational document in January 2026 to borrowers who may qualify.

Times are changing. As the economy evolves, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced it will stop producing the penny.

  • We are no longer able to order pennies from the Federal Reserve, which limits our ability to fill change orders that include them.

  • Rolls of pennies are no longer available at our branches.

  • Cash in your pennies sooner rather than later. While no official date has been set, there may come a time when Mainstreet will no longer accept pennies for deposit.

  • Expect rounding – we will round down to the nearest five cents.

  • Use digital payments – card and mobile transactions will continue to process to the exact cent and are not affected by rounding.

  • When closing an account, if your final balance includes 1–4 cents, the amount will be rounded down. You may request a cashier’s check for the exact amount or choose to donate the remaining cents to Children’s Miracle Network.

Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity. Scammers often use neighbor spoofing so it appears that an incoming call is coming from a local number or spoof a number from a company or a government agency that you may already know and trust. If you answer, they use scam scripts to try to steal your money or valuable personal information, which can be used in fraudulent activity.

Reminder:
Mainstreet Credit Union will NOT contact you requesting you to share account information. Fraudsters can spoof real numbers (including your credit union’s phone number), and falsely claim that there has been potential fraudulent activity on your account, in an attempt to scare you into providing your account information.

If you are contacted by someone asking you to provide passwords or any information that appears on your debit, ATM, or credit card (such as card number, CVV number, expiration date, etc.), DO NOT share anything with them. HANG UP IMMEDIATELY. Remember these fraudsters can mask phone numbers and make it appear as though they are calling from a valid number, even a Mainstreet Credit Union number. If you are unsure whether the representative calling you is from Mainstreet Credit Union, hang up and contact us at 913-599-1010 or toll-free 888-395-1010 or stop by a branch so we can review your account activity with you.

Members age 10-17, who would like an ATM or Debit Card with their checking account, are required to have a parent or guardian as joint owner.
