Dormant accounts are defined as accounts that have had no activity on shares/
savings or loans for a period of 12 months or more. When this inactivity period
has been reached, we will begin to notify you that your account has fallen into
the dormant status. This means that unless activity resumes, your account may
be subject to fees and ultimately escheated. Accounts that remain inactive will be
assessed a monthly fee of $15 beginning with the 18th month of inactivity. Also,
New Jersey statutes require that any account that remains inactive for a three-year
period is escheated (the funds are sent) to the State Treasury Department.
These actions are easily avoidable by simply utilizing the products and services
that ABCO membership provides. You also have the option to close your account.
To find out more about all our services, please visit our website, goabco.org, or call
Member Care at 800-225-1859.
ABCO Helps Finance New Clean Energy Vehicles
Through a joint venture with the Atlantic City Jitney Association, ABCO has helped
jitney association drivers finance new clean energy vehicles. The new fleet of 190
vehicles is clean-running, cost-efficient, domestically-fueled, Compressed Natural
Gas-powered jitney shuttle buses. It is reported that the fleet conversion is the
largest ever on the East Coast.
The word “jitney” is a slang word for nickel, which is what it cost in 1915 for a ride in
one of Atlantic City’s earliest “buses.” Even though the price has increased, the name
stuck. The first jitneys looked very similar to regular cars and were, in fact, large,
black Ford model-T touring cars which used a rope-and-pulley system to open
the back doors. Now you can ride around Atlantic City and even to the airport in a
modern eco-friendly vehicle.
The Atlantic City Jitney Association, established in 1915, claims to be the longestrunning unsubsidized transit company in the United States. ABCO has had a strong
relationship with the Jitney Association, its drivers and staff—most of whom are
credit union members. We are proud to have helped our members and helped
the environment.

ABCO FCU Co-CEO Ellen Kuiper Named a
South Jersey Biz Magazine’s Executive of the Year
The editors of South Jersey Biz magazine asked their readers to
nominate 20 business leaders who have been at the front of
industry changes and economic growth.
Ellen Kuiper, President and co-CEO of ABCO Federal Credit Union,
was among the 20 business leaders chosen as 2012 Executive of
the Year. She was also featured on the magazine’s cover.
Mrs. Kuiper likes to say she’s done every job there is at ABCO, and
she’s not exaggerating. Now in her 41st year with the company,
she got her start when she was just 17, working out of CEO
Milton Hershberger’s garage. Now out of the garage, ABCO has
grown to nine branches located throughout South Jersey and has
grown to $175 million in assets. Mrs. Kuiper went from being the
first and only employee to overseeing the 78 now working under
the company’s umbrella.
“We work as a team and everyone deserves credit to what this has
now become,” Mrs. Kuiper likes to say. “I love every minute of it.”
