Will the existing Bay Pines staff remain employed with MIDFLORIDA?
Yes. All Bay Pines employees will be offered a position and will maintain their tenure and benefits. However, for training and potentially for their new position, some employees may be deployed to other locations.
Additionally, Bay Pines staff will have the opportunity to bid for transfers within MIDFLORIDA’s corporate area and branch network. So, there is the potential for employees to change locations.

About Your Account
Will my member number (account number) remain the same?
Your base member number will not change, however, we will need to add a prefix of one billion to your existing Bay Pines account number to determine your MIDFLORIDA account number. For example:
| BPFCU Account No. | 12345 |
| Add Prefix | 1000000000 |
| Your MIDFLORIDA account no. | 1000012345 |

Will my account remain the same?
All BPFCU accounts will be transitioned to a similar MIDFLORIDA account type. In most cases, MIDFLORIDA offers a similar account type to those offered by Bay Pines so transitioning over to MIDFLORIDA should result in a similar account with the same or enhanced account benefits. You will receive specific information about your accounts prior to account conversion.

Will I need to notify the companies who use ACH – Automatic Clearing House – to make deposits, such as paychecks, Social Security checks, etc. or withdrawals, such as insurance drafts, car payments, etc. on my accounts to use a new account number?
No. We will programmatically handle this transition to ensure your deposits and payments continue to post without interruption.

Will I need to get new checks?
You may continue to use your existing BPFCU check stock indefinitely. However, if you would like a free box of MIDFLORIDA checks, you may order one by calling our Help Desk toll free at (866) 913-3733 before June 30, 2013.
