You can confirm and/or update your contact information anytime on Bellco.org. Just sign in to Online Banking, click on your name in the top right corner, and select “Contact Information” from the dropdown menu.
If preferred, you can also update your information by visiting any Bellco branch or by calling Member Services at 1-800-BELLCO-1.
Who should I reach out to if I have tax questions?
Since Bellco employees are not tax advisors, we are unable to advise members on tax-related issues. We recommend you work with a certified tax advisor.

How to Choose Between a Will, Trust, or Both
As a not-for-profit, Colorado-based financial cooperative, Bellco is committed to providing tools and resources to help our members and the community feel financially empowered. One way we’ve done this is by collaborating with Denver7 to provide communities across Colorado with helpful financial tips.
If you’ve been thinking about getting your financial affairs in order, the new year is a great time to start. In a recent Denver7 segment, we explain the differences between a will and trust so you can better decide if one (or both) are right for you. You can view the segment below:
Bellco has teamed up with The Hughes Law Firm, Members Trust Company, and Trust & Will to provide estate planning services for our members.
