We do everything possible to protect your security and maintain the integrity of the payments network. The account verification procedures are double-check safeguards that help us make sure nobody sets up your accounts but you.

Absolutely. You can easily add or delete accounts at any time from the Overview page.

The procedures for adding new accounts to a previously established portfolio and for adding accounts to a brand new portfolio are exactly the same. If you remember how the process worked the first time, go to it. If you'd like a refresher, just follow along with the step-by-step explanations below.
- How do I get started adding accounts to my Accounts Portfolio?
Start at your Overview page:
If you're building your Account Portfolio for the first time, you'll be brought to your Overview page automatically after completing the sign up process.
To get started, click Add Accounts from the menu bar. Enter the name of the financial institution in the Search box. It will come back with a list of financial institutions that match with your search criteria. Select your financial institution and you will be asked to enter the required information to set up that account.
- What is the definition of a bank account for the purposes of this service?
Checking accounts, money market accounts for which you have check-writing privileges (other than those held through brokerages) and savings accounts are eligible for the Transfer Funds as bank accounts. You can add accounts held at credit unions by selecting the Add Bank Account link.
- How do I add bank accounts to my Accounts Portfolio?
Clicking Add Accounts from the menu bar and you will be taken directly to the Add Bank Accounts page. You can search for your financial institution either by name or by 9-digit ABA/Routing Number. In many cases, we'll be able to verify the account with your institution automatically through our online account verification process. For other accounts, just follow the trial deposits verification steps.
Step 1--Entering your institution name
Enter the name of your financial institution in the data entry field. For best results, please enter a significant portion of the institution name. Note that typing the full institution name may prevent a successful search if our database doesn't include the name exactly as you've entered it. Finally, do not use abbreviations. See the examples on the Add Bank Account screen for hints on how to best enter your institution name in the data field.
Once you perform the search, you'll see hyperlinks for one or more institutions matching your search data. Click on the link for your institution.
Alternatively, you can search for your institution by entering the 9-digit ABA Routing number usually found at the bottom of your check on the left hand side.
Step 2--Providing account information
You'll be brought to a screen asking for the account number and ABA routing number of your account. Enter the account number in the data field and select the proper ABA routing number from the drop-down list. See below for information about ABA Routing/Transit numbers, including what they are and how to find yours.
Online account verification: We can often verify the account with your institution immediately via the Internet. If this is the case, you'll also be asked to supply the login credentials you use to gain access to your online account with that financial institution (not your Workers' Credit Union user name and password).
If online account verification is not available, you'll be asked to complete our convenient trial deposit verification process. See below for details regarding online and offline account verification. When you have supplied all requested information, click Continue. You will be brought to your Overview page.
Step 3--Adding additional accounts

-
If you have completed a successful online verification, the account will be listed under box called Approved Accounts. This account is now ready to be used with the Transfer Funds.

- What is an ABA routing number?
The ABA routing number is an identification number assigned to each financial institution and each branch office. That's why the larger your institution, the more ABA numbers appear in the drop-down list on the data entry screen. It is usually a 9-digit number bound at the bottom of your check usually on the left hand side.
- How do I identify the ABA routing number for my account?
Take a look at your check. You'll see a printed row of numbers, usually at the bottom of the check. The ABA routing number is the nine-digit sequence that appears between the symbols.
- How do I find my account number?
You can find your account number on your account statement, and it's also printed on your check, in that same row of numbers where you found your 9-digit ABA Routing/Transit number. Your account number appears on your check between the symbols.
Add investment accounts
- What is the definition of an investment account for the purposes of Transfer Funds?
An investment account is the cash account (usually a money market account) that you hold at your brokerage. This is where your brokerage holds the funds you use to make stock, mutual fund and other investment purchases, and where the brokerage deposits the proceeds from the sales you execute.

Money Mover
Introduction to Money Mover
- How does Money Mover work?
Workers' Credit Union processes Electronic Transfer Funds via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) secure network. This is the same network used by the Federal Reserve to clear checks between financial institutions. Workers' Credit Union submits a request to the ACH network to transfer funds between the accounts you've specified. ACH then uses its secure channels to complete the transaction. This procedure is very similar to the process employers use to create direct deposit of payroll and that financial institutions use to carry out automated payments for loans or mortgages.
- When do you execute my Transfer Funds request?
Your Transfer Funds request enters into the ACH system on the business day following receipt of your request, provided you've made your transaction request Transfer Funds Execution message by 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
If you initiate a Transfer Funds after the daily cutoff time, the transfer will be posted two business days following the request date. Please note that all Transfer Funds requested during the weekend (after the Friday cutoff time) will be posted on Tuesday.
Depending upon the financial institution, it may take an additional business day for the transaction to be reflected in the account balance of the destination account.

- Can I transfer money internationally using the institutional fund transfer between my accounts?
No, this facility is still not available due to international legislation that varies across the nations. We regret the inconvenience.

Finally, a successful completion of $500 from the same external account into your host account at least 60 days prior is required to make the external account eligible for Premium service. Once your external account becomes eligible, you must have at least $750 in your account to transfer money from your external account. And when transferring money out of your account you must have at least $750 after adjusting for the current transaction and the ones that have not been released to Automated Clearing House (ACH).

Cancel a Transfer
- What should I do if I wish to cancel a Transfer Funds request?
You can cancel your request anytime before the cut-off time. Once your Transfer Funds request has been transmitted to ACH, you can not cancel the transaction.

It is simple to cancel the transaction before the cut-off time. Just click on the Cancel Link next to the transaction on the Overview page and follow the simple instructions.
Transfer Status
- How will I know when a transfer is complete?
Your Transfer Funds Status screen provides an up-to-date status report of all your Transfer Funds requests over the past twelve months. Each transfer request is displayed along with the date and status of the transaction. You can see at a glance whether a transfer is complete or still in progress. You'll also know right away if we're unable to successfully execute a transfer, with full details about the transaction just a click away.
You should also be able to confirm the completion of the transaction with your financial institution after scheduled completion of your transaction request.
- How long does it take to complete a Transfer Funds?
This depends in part upon the duration displayed while initiating your transfer and perhaps in part upon how quickly your institution updates your account after receiving the Transfer Funds. Full details regarding your Transfer Funds requests are viewable on your Transfer Status screen.
With the standard service option your funds will get posted to your destination account once the funds have been successfully drawn from your source account. Your transaction remains In Process for the number of days indicated while initiating your transfer from the day you send your request. After that, the status gets updated to "Complete", indicating a successful transaction, provided we have not received notice of any problems with the transfer (see below).
- Under what circumstances will an attempted Transfer Funds be unsuccessful?
A Transfer Funds will be returned, if it cannot successfully be posted to your account. The most common reasons for failed or returned Transfer Funds are:
- Entering an incorrect account number or bank ABA routing number
- Lack of sufficient funds in the source account
- Exceeding the dollar limit for an individual transaction, total transactions conducted in the last 30 days, or outstanding transfers (transfers that you have initiated but have not completed yet)
You will be notified by e-mail if we have received a "Return" message on your transaction indicating that the transfer has not been completed. Full details will be available on your History screen.
- How will I know when a transfer is complete?
You can go to your History screen for an up-to-date status report on your Transfer Funds request. You should also be able to confirm the completion of the transaction with your financial institution.
- How can I check on the status of my recent Transfer Funds?
Click History from the navigation bar. You'll arrive at your History page, where you'll see a table listing your Transfer Funds requests over the past twelve months. The screen shows:
- The reference number of each transaction
- The date you requested each Transfer Funds
- The origin account (Transfer Funds from) and destination account (Transfer Funds to) of each Transfer Funds
- The dollar amount of each transfer
- The current status of each transfer
- What do the different status designations mean?
Pending: We have not yet received confirmation of a successful transaction. You may see an indication of the transaction in the account balance of the source account but not the destination account of your Transfer Funds.
Complete: The transfer is confirmed. The transaction will be reflected in your account balances with your institutions as a withdrawal from your source account and a deposit in your destination account. It's a good idea to verify the transaction with your financial institutions.
Rejected: We were unable to remove the funds from the source account or place the funds in your destination account. Typical causes of failed or returned Transfer Funds are:
Incorrect account number or bank ABA routing number provided during the account setup.
Lack of sufficient funds in the source account. If we receive return due to non-sufficient funds (NSF) in the source account, we'll automatically try the transaction a second time. A Transfer Funds will be designated unsuccessful only after a second NSF return.
You will be notified by email if we receive a return notice on your transaction indicating the transfer cannot be completed.
Complete (Return): Occasionally, we'll receive a return from the ACH system indicating a problem with the transaction after the normal 3 business-day waiting period. This designation indicates that we received the return notice after having already designated the Transfer Funds as Complete.
It is possible that you'll see a record of the debit on the account statement of your source account. If this does occur, the funds will automatically be returned to that account, appearing as a credit on your account statement.
- How can I get further details about transactions that do not go through?
If a transaction is unsuccessful, the designation rejected will appear in the Status column of the History screen as a hyperlink. Click on this link to receive full details about the transaction and the situation that was encountered.
